Have you ever signed a free agent just to trade him away?

[JaymeeAwesome]

Professional sports flip players constantly. Not often is it a free agent but they do it with trades. You find a player that another team wants, trade for that player and then send that player to another team for the player you want....i don't think it's cheap at all. The only thing is that the trading system in madden doesn't work well and you can get top 10 pick for it....

Yep, trade for rookies and draft picks

Absolutely. Back in the day, it was all about signing linebackers, moving them to DE and getting Peyton Manning. Now not so much (whistling)

[AHS_Hutto]

everyone has done it!

[stlstudios189]

I have not done this I haven't this, I usually end up trading someone and regret it later.

my friend use to do this alot. i do it sometimes, but its usually not worth it. i wouldnt really call it cheesing since ur just playing by ur self, but it is unrealistic or not "sim". it doesnt happen in nfl, but it does in the nba.

[The Real Ma$$ive]

Yep I guess you can call it cheesing, i'll never do this because I hate salary cap penalties that you receive the next year for doing it. I don't know if you guys have noticed, but on Madden 10 when you make trades the cap penalty section always say 0, but next year, oh yeah, you'll see the cap penalty eating up your cap room

Pretty cheap IMO but I just can't help it sometimes. haha. Anyone done this before?

Wouldn't that hurt your Cap.
