After an immense amount of time dealing with trade logic during offline franchise, I have stumbled upon some drastic fluctuations in trade logic that seemingly lacks any pattern of actual logic...

Case 1- Using default rosters start a franchise with the Arizona Cardinals. Before doing anything, select Trade Players and click Cardinals RE Bertrand Berry. For the other team select the Kansas City Chiefs and select CB Brandon Flowers. Press the start button and you will notice that the Chiefs rejected the trade.

Now... Using default rosters start a franchise with the Arizona Cardinals, then follow these steps (and do nothing more than what is listed)...

1st- Sign LT Kwame Harris from the FA list for a 1 year contract worth $6.87 Million and a $0 signing bonus.

2nd- From Player Management click LT Mike Gandy and edit him into a RT (Change nothing but his position).

3rd- From Player Management click LOLB Ali Highsmith and edit him into a ROLB (Change nothing but his position).

4th- From Player Management click ROLB Chike Okeafor, edit him into a LE, and change his number to #96 (Change nothing but his position and jersey number).

You will notice that absolutely nothing changed in regards to RE Bertrand Berry or CB Brandon Flowers. All that changed was that you signed a left tackle and changed a few player positions (also you changed Okeafor's uniform number).

5th- Now... Click Trade Players and offer the following trade:

CARDINALS
RE Bertrand Berry

CHIEFS
CB Brandon Flowers
RE Glenn Dorsey
2nd Round Pick

The trade will be accepted by the Chiefs (except that the Cardinals have 55 players already so all you have to do is offer a low rated player such as 47 OVR rated CB Michael Adams to complete the deal).

Case Analysis: The Chiefs would not accept the trade of Bertrand Berry for Brandon Flowers but after signing a player and editing a few player positions (players other than Bertrand Berry) the Chiefs not only accepted the trade, but you are able to add Glenn Dorsey and a 2nd round pick into the trade.

This is a specific case but it's not the only one, I've had this happen on many occasions and it does not seem to have any specific reason for doing this.
