Not to step on any toes... but a template in the OP may be the best approach to make the process smoother. I only submitted one trade, but was oblivious to how to submit. Hence, why I piece mailed a lot of info your way which I apologize for.
[quote name='CAGLeagueSports']I just want to throw something out there...at the risk of kicking up a shitstorm again, but the trade committee has been discussing the idea that any trade proposal that is not submitted with the proper information just gets an immediate rejection, with a simple "Incomplete" response.
Most of you probably can't even begin to imagine the chaos that was yesterday. We had last second proposals, incomplete information, arguing over rulings, repeat proposals that started to verge on spamming. All while trying to get a 32 team draft underway. Because of all of this, there was one proposal that even got overlooked.
I can completely accept that some of it just "comes with the territory". But at the same time, it's not an excuse for being lazy. I don't mean this as an attack or a complaint against anyone. There's nothing to be gained from that. Some people are new to the trade process and obviously, even the most experienced among us make mistakes from time to time. I just feel like we need to streamline the process a little more for the benefit of the league.
The process for proposing a trade is in the OP, but I'll post it here.
One other thing we've been discussing is how worthless OVR is. Yes, it's basically always been that way in Madden, but I honestly think the concept of schemes makes it even worse this year. A player can have a 20+ point jump from one scheme to another. Considering this, the idea was raised of scrapping even reporting OVR when proposing a trade, and instead listing relevant stats for that position. It would look something like this:
QB: Short, medium, long throw accuracy, throwing power, awareness, plus anything they think is useful to make their case.
RB: Speed, acceleration, Elusiveness, Carry, plus anything they think is useful to make their case.
WR: Speed, Catch, Catch in Traffic, Spec. Catch, plus anything they think is useful to make their case.
TE: Run Blocking, Catch, Catch in Traffic, plus anything they think is useful to make their case.
O-Line: Run block, pass block impact block, strength plus anything they think is useful to make their case.
D-Line: Block Shedding, Tackle, Power Movie, Strength, plus anything they think is useful to make their case.
Lineback: Pursuit, Tackle, Speed, Awareness, plus anything they think is useful to make their case.
D-Back: Man coverage, zone coverage, speed, catch, plus anything they think is useful to make their case.
Kicker/Punter: Power and accuracy.
The idea is that this would make evaluating trades a much simpler process and make it easier to see what is fair (though it would make proposing them more involved). But for those of you who have had a problem with committee decisions as of late, it should be worth the extra effort.[/QUOTE]
