I just pushed an update to the trading screen that I hope will fix some of the issues we've had. Here is the skinny:

1) There was indeed a bug with players like punters and kickers being overvalued in the trade bar. This should be fixed. I also tweaked the scores for all positions slightly, you may or may not notice an impact.
2) The 'trade score' for each player and pick is now visible, as is the total for each side. If the engine will consider it unbalanced, it will tell you what needs to be added to the low side to balance it. A balanced trade is considered one that the side with the highest score is less than twice the score of the other side.

With the exposure of these figures you should be able to see more how the engine scores similar players, positions, ages, etc - and as always, I encourage discussion, as there is still plenty of work to be done. I would love to see discussion about specific players and their relative scores that you agree or disagree with. (Just please keep away from personal attacks, I value your opinion and I hope you value others' opinions even when you disagree with them).

Wow. That was fast!

It's great to be part of a Community where the Developer cares and puts priority things into motion quickly!

There never will be a 'best resolution', but your dedication is greatly appreciated!

I keep getting some error about cannot set inner html or something like that.

Well, here we go. My first Trade Offer in the new Model.

So, look at it an see if you think it's balanced or fair (I had to add the 6th because he 'owed' me points and needed to get another of his Picks to balance it out).

I got that as well. Ironically, I was sending you a trade. lol

That error doesn't seem to stop anything from actually happening though.

I still see all the Scores, and I can execute the Offer.

How much of the trade value is contract based?

Are these default ratings?

Age seems to impact rather Early. Which seems weird, since these guys already 'developed' and you know what you're getting.

This Super Stud (S Kenneth Fletcher) is 27 Years Old, still in his Prime... worth 1950. Now, that's not a bad value, but DT Gabriel Sexton
https://mfn7.myfootballnow.com/player/5219

is a hefty 2340 in Trade Value, despite having a good ways to go to reach his Max Potentials (though his Growth is good, so he SHOULD hit Max). While Francis Humphreys
https://mfn7.myfootballnow.com/player/4719

is only worth 1040.

None of these guys are 30 or nearing Retirement, or at an age where they should be at less value.

However, they all play different Positions, so that could be Positional Value weighted in.

Just showing 3 guys at different spots to get an over view of things.

The trade value is only based on the player's default ratings, position, and age (using default weights)

Can the OL positions be turned down some? I have a RG I have rated at 90+ with the default point at 2000+ .. while I have a rookie QB at 85/96 only at 1000 or so (maybe I have him to highly rated??).

It would take a Brinks truck of draft picks to get the QB from me ... the RG not so much .. lol
