Dear Trade Cap...oh wait, nvm

I'm not sure why so many of you are all bent out of shape about the trade cap. First, as BV proved, not much has changed. Second, no one is forcing you to make a trade.

I've never looked at this as a sim league when it comes to how people run their team, just the rules. If that were the case no trades would ever be made. Is anyone in here going to trade Brandon Marshall for two 3rds? How about DeMeco Ryans for a 4th rounder. Stop whining. If you want to devalue your players and start trading like a real GM, do it. People will be lined up at the door. You wanted to trade Mario Williams, right? He's got a monster contract so I'll give you 2 3rds? Sound good?

Remaining Games:

Packers-Jags
Browns-Chargers
Titans-Colts
Rams-Patriots
Bears-Panthers
Cowboys-Giants

Any update on any of these? Thanks, gents!

i get what ur saying completely.... i havnt complained about any trades that i can remember also wasnt against the haden trade even tho the browns are taken a risk on manning.... this trade for vincent jackson is by far the worst trade ive seen yet.... now i will admit even tho others may not theres a bit of jealousy that bvs getting all thesr big name players for basically nothing.... but u could get more back then tracy portrr for vincent jackson....

Relax bruh, I'm entitled to my $.02. I'm more of a football traditionalist and these trades kinda sour the whole thing for me. I HATE fantasy leagues and I feel like were pretty close to getting to that. I'd placed Mario on the block because I believe the Bills over paid for him and I would've only moved him for something substantial in return (franchise QB/ top 10 draft pick etc.)

But please don't feel like its your responsibility to keep me from "whining" I'll express myself however I see fit.

just wanted to throw out a little more detail on why i wanted to make this trade. all i have for TE is dallas clark and i use a two TE formation alot so that will help because Thomas is a Receiver type TE and young and i play a lot of man cov not zone and i only have one man cov CB so porter will help out a lot and Caldwell will be the bonus in this trade for me.

Then people should offer an explanation not whine about something that isn't needed. If people would be constructive, something would get done. Just because a player has a name doesn't mean he is that good. The opposite is true as well. Porter is a pretty damn good CB and honestly overall's do not matter anymore (they change with every team a player is on), you have to look at individual attributes.

I don't get the jealousy/hate BV for being a good GM thing, but that isn't important. What is important is adding something to the conversation (like Sprice just did) rather than posting empty complaints that do nothing for the league.

Prime example. Of course you can say whatever you want, just don't expect anyone to listen when all you say is 'we need a trade cap' and don't add any examples/opinions to back it up. If you would have said this in the first place I would have supported your statement because I basically feel the same way.

Lmao ^^This guy...

Anyway - the trade committee is open to suggestions. If someone feels like we should be evaluating trades differently, we're all ears.

Since I've been in a Madden CAG League (Madden 10) I've always been in the minority on the trading. I hate it when people blow up teams, a completely personal preference. I couldn't care less that BV has a "superstar" team, I just hate seeing Vick on the Cardinals/Roddy White on the Pats/Adrian Peterson traded etc.

The trade cap isn't my beef at all, I'm against unrealistic trades in general, cap or not. I was just as irritated by all the moves last year as well. If i had it my way, trading would be limited and "superstars" would be protected from trades in-season.

It's funny because you're so far from understanding where I stand on this but you continue to whine about me whining. Does it hurt your feelings that some people don't like the unrealistic movement of players during the season in Madden?

what i mean by the jealousy is last yr i thought bv could make all the trades he did for superstars cause the oats were stacked.... some of his back ups were better then my starters he was so stacked... now with the broncos hes gotten haden bold move replacing manning with a rookie i think but now vincent jackson to ... okay overalls dont matter but is tracy porter enough to pick up the slack of defense that ur best offensive weapon will be leaving... im not angry at bv i just wish i could trade dirt for treasure to
