    Trading for rookies several years into Franchise Mode

    Haven't been able to find this anywhere.

    I'm about 5 years into a franchise mode, and there is a rookie QB that was drafted to another team that I wanted. He is an 81 overall with Superstar development. I tried trading my 86 overall 22 year old QB, my 90 overall 24 year old Center, and my 90 overall 24 year old MLB. All of my players have quick development and are positions of need for the other team.

    When I offer the trade of all 3 players for this 1 QB, the trade meter doesn't even get into the yellow. Seems bizzare, I'm offering a younger quarterback with a higher rating (the rookie fits my scheme better), and 2 studs in positions of need, and they aren't even close on accepting it.

    Anyone have any ideas or ran into this?

    Good. Teams shouldn’t trade their rookies.

      Did you unlock the trade negotiator trait for your coach, or whatever it's called? That helps.

      Completely agree about not wanting to trade for rookies though. Unless you're trying to re-create the whole Eli Manning/Phillip Rivers debacle.

      My buddy tries to trade his older, higher OVR guys for high OVR rookies during our franchise and I want to punch him in the face.

        A change this year was to make it harder to trade with CPU for rookies. You have to be willing to overpay and even then it can’t alway be done.

        Be patient- they are only a rookie for a year - try again next season and the price will have come down

          81 ovr superstar qb, probably drafted in the 1st round.. it makes sense that they would have little interest in giving him up. If you want him that bad just create a coach for that player and manually make the trade, assuming you don't care much about realism.

            My brother is the kind of guy that starts a CFM as the Chargers and trades Rivers for Desean Watson and Travis (freaking) Benjamin for John Ross..

              That QB is most likely a top 1st round pick and a future franchise QB so I say it's pretty realistic that they wouldn't want to give him up regardless of what you're offering. You're offering WAAAYYY too much for a rookie in my opinion. Why would you want to give up a young (high overall) QB, a solid foundation to your O-line, and a core piece of your defense for 1 rookie anyways???

                As many others have not, the NFL is not a "trade" happy league, so this situation is more or less realistic.

                  I'm kind of glad that that trade wasn't accepted by the CPU, but I am very surprised. I feel like if I made that offer in my CFM they would quickly accept that much value.
