What! You can get legitimate trades that both owners want to actually go through?

Another owner wants my FB - http://mfn26.myfootballnow.com/player/3173 WE BOTH want to make the trade, but the bar will only do it for a 1 rounder, really? C'mon now PLEASE get this fixed.
Lost count the amount of trades I have NOT been able to do.

One thing that might be happening in this case ... the trade algorithm has, for a while now, balanced based on the player's _best_ position score, not what they are currently assigned at. So if your FB actually scores well at RB (or another position) that may drive up his value, and while a FB is not considered first round material, a RB is. This was done so that you can't cheat the trade bar by changing a player's position.

I did look at that player and didn't see where it required a first rounder but if you PM me the team and what you were trading for I can look at it further.

Another adjustment that will be made before too long (but has not been made yet) is the reaction to the fact that better players are being produced ... the player values are still using older player generation ratings to determine player-to-pick values. This may take several drafts with the new player creation algorithm to resolve.

Also I've noticed several comments that the trade bar is using your own personal weights, this is incorrect, the bar is using the default score (which is the score you will see if you are not in the league) to determine the value of each player.

OK, thanks. In this case the agent made an offer which I countered so I'm not sure what he wants to do now, I have PM'd him though

I was one of the owners trying to trade for this guy. I just checked it again. The meter doesn't move unless I send a 1st round pick. Then it moves not quite half way. If I offer a 2nd and a 3rd it also moves a little. Either of those offers seems too much to me for a 70/77 FB.

OK, so this is how its going to go then, I have a bunch of players that I am TRYING to shop around but can't offer anything at all, it either goes too far their way or mine.

Consequence? I am going to have to let ALL of them go FA, which is just total BS. So if you're in MFN26, congratulations some very good players coming up on the cheap Monday morning.



And this screws my cap as well, all because the **** trade balance is broken. Its so frustrating that something like this can't be addressed, I'm not a coder but think that this shouldn't be that hard to do, it works fine in other games.

I've just released an update to the player weight values that should be more in line with the way players are being generated.
