Do you make this trade offer to every new player that joins. Seems like a trend. I know you did me and have seen it before.

New players should realize that late round pick rarely and I really do mean rarely give you anything even depth wise. There is no way any combination of picks beyond round 3 should equal a 3rd rounder even if just for depth. You will not build a competing team making these trades and losing out on a possible gift picks in 3rd. Just my personal opinion and apparently I am not the only one as these offers wouldnt be made over and over by same people. Its why I wont trade draft picks for draft picks as i dont want to take advantage of what i know about the drafts on the game.

Sorry King but this is consistent and its one reason why the teams on top stay there as they will then turn those picks after a couple seasons into 1st rounders and there youth is rebuilt.

The trade seems reasonable as one team is picking up extra 4th and 5th round picks for dropping 21 spots overall. Not much difference between the 30th pick of Rd3 and 4th and 5th rd picks if you look at the draft pool.
Heck, I'd make the trade to only drop 20 spots late in the third round, haha

Dude, chill out as you seem to be bitter and have an axe to grind. I just read this and looked up nidd. He bought his team on 9/10 and was here the entire season. How is he a new player?

His team won their division by 4 games and among the teams they beat was King's. His Arizona team played in the conference championship. Sounds like he's got pretty good handle on things.

lol.. I have no axe to grind. I am speaking from experience and have seen these trades offered by the same people over and over. You dont see them offering a 3rd for those draft picks. I was just speaking in general.

I will admit tho i didnt look at the draft positioning on the picks and will call my bad on that. Apologies.

Also I have known or played another game with King for a few years now and as a matter of fact he got me into this game.

I will not comment on any more trades, thats fine

It's all good Morbid and please do comment as your input is valuable to the overall well being of the game. We're cool bro, no worries, I have no issues with someone having a differing opinion.

IMO, this type of trade is a matter of philosophy and I am banking we perform well. This season that wasn't the case and if it holds true for the future, I lose.

It sucked that my draftees on this team almost all went down in ratings and a number of them by 10 and as much as 25 :(
