if you had one or more teams in your league(s) that you could trade off your failed first round and second round picks, your "busts", or players that you dont need or are non-impact, your older top rated players who are hitting 8 years and more with high enough trade value on the trade meter so you can get first round picks, which are currently underrated at 900 pts on the trade meter or less, in return? . Wouldnt that be nice?
Well, guess what!!! Good news my friends, there are accounts out there that have been set up specifically for that purpose! But... you have to get to them first, before they trade off the picks to another team in your league, unless it was pre-arranged or the account user has already made a choice, then you dont have a chance anyway. They are not very hard to notice or spot. The "gm" selects a team in your league and right away trades off one or more first round picks. There are no messages (you should try right away, but you will most likely not get a reply), comments, what-have-yous, like u might expect from someone who plays in 20 or more leagues and has been playing for several seasons or more. The "gm" does not actively manage the team, it is left to the AI, so you have a fairly easy win against them as there is no gameplanning, scouting, rules/overides. If you look at the "gm"'s record in your league and the other leagues that gm is or has been in, you will find a won/loss record around .300, which is about what the AI does. Sometimes, the person(s) who run these accounts will set up a basic gameplan, scout now & then, not anything that takes a lot of time, but will have the account win a few extra games to make them look better or more normal, but never compete for a playoff or higher.
Here is one good example of many, the account is currently "active" in 19 leagues, check out the following very recent trade, one of many that this account has been involved in:
https://mfn70.myfootballnow.com/forums/thread/1/88?page=1#140 and another recent trade by the same account ....
https://mfn68.myfootballnow.com/forums/thread/1/112?page=1#182Keep in mind that this account does not actively manage the team for games to be played, that is left to the AI. No gameplanning, no rules/overides, and no transactions other than the initial trades for the first round and 2nd round picks, and sometimes a bid to hike the price up for a FA. Sometimes there will be a little "maintenance", so that the team will win an extra game or two vs another AI run team. Helps to keep the appearances up.
In order to benefit from trading with one of these accounts, you must either know the account user or someone who does, or you must set up your own "dupe" account. :)
