This year I wanted to have some type of "house rules" regarding trades, and this should work perfectly. I was wondering, why the different values for draft picks and player values when you are playing online vs offline? Seems like whether a trade is considered fair swings quite a bit depending on whether you are playing by yourself or with others. Not arguing with the logic used here, I'm just wondering why offline/online are considered different.

In single player middle and late round picks are far more valuable because in online play, people reach for anybody even vaguely draftable. In a normal class most people online are just throwing darts at a board by round 4, whereas in offline, if you're not finding 5-6 studs per class, right through to round 7, you're doing something wrong and need to check out my scouting tool.
