One Star Trade Values?

[TheRealTodd]

My association has been going pretty good. I lost Scola in game 2 with an injury, but I still managed to dump Chuck Hayes and Jared Jeffries for JJ Hickson and my Rockets have been playing way better than I expected to get to 15-8.

Now Scola's back, I'm looking to get rid of a couple of players to free up some cap space to have a shot at getting Carmelo once free agency arrives... Problem is every player on my roster has a one star trade value, and no-one wants a piece of them...

Yao is leading the league with 3.5 blocks a game, Brooks is giving out 9 assists a game and Kevin Martin is getting 19 ppg, putting him top 10 in the league. Still a one star trade? Don't think so

Has this happened to anyone else. It's basically ruined association for me now. Otherwise, this game is unbelievable!

Re: One Star Trade Values?

This is just a guess, but I would think this is happening because the player's values aren't evaluated by what the player is doing currently. This being said, I'm sure if you continue to have them playing good, their values will go up in the off season along with their rating progression. I guess this is actually a good thing because if a user could dominate with some scrub player and fluff his stats up (and in turn increase his trade value artificially), the player could potentially be traded for a legitimate star, while the scrub would still have his terrible rating and not play the same on a CPU controlled team.

I think the star system is already put on a player from the game. Plus if you look @ K. Martin he has a contract that doesn't really represent the type of player he is. I don't think a team would want to put that on their budget. If I'm wrong about the star system then continue

But doesn't that hurt?

Re: One Star Trade Values?

They had good ratings at the start of the season, I'm not sure when they decided to drop, but now I want to shake things up. I was only able to get Hickson (forgot to mention the Cavs 1st round pick, should be 1-5 ) beause they had a couple of stars each.

Now I can't even trade my best players for scrubs because of these stars!

lol, hmmm... have you tried making trades? Like going to trading block and looking at the trades? Because there are likely other players out there with value to your team that are 'one stars.'

No idea why they are one stars, though... and I do hope that their value changes. Maybe it's their age... or injury history, but I can bet you could at least get a couple first round picks and a prospect in real life with Yao. Same with Kevin Martin or Lee... not the pick things, but you could get a starting caliber player easily.

I'd not worry so much about the stars (my old starting C ((before I moved Cousins into the starting lineup) is Dalembert and he's got more than 1 star (like 1.5, whatever)... bout to ship him out first thing next time I play. lol.

Also why is 19 ppg top 10 in the league?

Edit: Ugh, forgot about Sammy being an expiring contract... maybe that's why he is a 1.5 star and maybe that's why your players have little value. bad contracts...

Re: One Star Trade Values?

19 ppg is top 10 because I've scaled back sim quarter length so that my 7 minute playing quarters get similar stats to the rest of the league. I can't stand playing 12 min quarters, and I can't stand scoring 50-60 ppg and the rest of the league scoring 100. Scaling them back balances everything out.

I tried making trades, nobody would accept, I even offered Yao, Martin and Brooks for Shawn Marion... No dice. (Not that I wanted him, I just wanted to see if anyone would trade with me)

I'm thinking I might just have to start again. Hopefully it won't happen next time round... Either that or hope it becomes a big issue and gets patched.

Re: One Star Trade Values?

Make sure to look at what kind of player you're trying to trade (i.e. if his new team already has depth at that position) and how good that team is. Guys like Martin might not have high value to rebuilding teams, but if you were looking to trade him to someone like San Antonio that might just need that one extra piece, he might have more value. Hope I helped.

Re: One Star Trade Values?

Could this have something to do with teams not trading anybody after year 1?

[TheRealTodd]

Re: One Star Trade Values?

I don't think it's the trades I'm looking for, I've offered a bunch of different trades to different teams, I think it's something wrong with the game. I just started a fresh one and everyone has decent star values.

I noticed that on my new one, I can choose one of my players on the trade finder and I'll get a heap of offers. On the old one if I use trade finder, I get no available trades for every single player on the team.

Looks like I'm starting again

You may be on to something.

Re: One Star Trade Values?

Wow, I hope my players don't drop too! I'm a Rockets fan and just messing around with an Association (I'm waiting for opening day roster update to really start), I was able to package Patterson/Jeffries for Gerald Wallace. I could also get Granger and Indiana's 1st rounder for Patterson/Battier and Houston's 1st rounder. I could probably package Patterson in a deal for Iggy too, but I have yet to try it. I guess I need to trade early, or are your stars dropping because your minutes are low? Hopefully someone figures this out.

Re: One Star Trade Values?

The EXACT same thing happened to me & my Fantasy Association. In the 1st week my Star values worked fine. Now just randomly everybody is 1-Star. The only thing I did was trade Rashard Lewis, Tyson Chandler, & A 2nd round pick for Brandon Jennings. He role was "prospect" & he was getting pissed & I needed a 6th man to back-up Raymond Felton so I brought him to my team.

Everybody is still 1-Star including people like D-Wade, Wesley Johnson, & KG. I used to get plenty of offers from teams & now I get none. BTW, I think they got rid of the trading block, because I cant find it.

This may be the secret to no trades occurring outside of year one!?

The problem is that i'm still in year 1. I in January right now, & a couple trades have already happened. Theres plenty of rumors too, The 1-Stars only effect my team though.

Another interesting thing to note is when I was trading for Brandon Jennings. I believe he was 4 1/2 Stars, which is fair, but when he was on my team he dropped to 1 1/2. Everybody else was 1, & he was 1 1/2.

What's the difference between your old association and new one? If you start over, won't the problem repeat after week one, or did you find a fix?
