Why Can't We Trade Kickers and Punters?

[Pared]

You probably can't do it because of the way their rating system and trade AI works.

Instead of seeing Vinatieri traded for Ricky Williams, they probably decided to disallow trades with K/P. They probably also encountered teams trading for multiple K's and franchise freezing up because of a team's lack of P's or K's due to multiples in a single position.

It's a much simpler fix than actually fixing the trade AI to only trade a K/P for their respective position. More developers do things like this than you probably realize.

Why can't we put the OVR ratings down on kickers and punters?, There only good stat is Kick Power and Accuracy (Maybe one of those mental ones, Not sure)

Here is the proof, but how many times does it actually happen to be worth putting into the game.

You are right, it would be another way to exploit the game. So if its in the game, it in THE GAME isn't fully true if that was the case we need to see ref knocking down players and getting in the way

if someone buys they game with their hard earned money do they not have the right to trade a 95 punter for a 85 cornerback if the system allows it and they feel like being completely unrealistic?(assuming its not an online dynasty deal like ncaa)

also i think its a cop out(barring proof) to say that they couldnt "encode" a fair trade system and just ruled out punters and kickers

just my opinion tho

"People will abuse it" has been an excuse for too many things for too long imho.

No one said they couldn't. It's a question as to why didn't they.
