Non-Historical [0.9.9] - Draft Picks

Hologram · 03-21-2013, 11:34 PM

AI seems to really value the low draft picks way too much. Example:

I offer
Ryan Hamilton
Simon Gysbers

for

1st Round Pick

AI says balanced offer. I throw in 6th Round Pick, AI says the opposing team is very likely to accept. To the point that I can grab another 1st Round Pick as well. In essence, the 6th is worth more than a 1st. In summary the trade ends up being:

Ryan Hamilton
Simon Gysbers
6th Round Pick 2013

for

1st Round Pick 2013
1st Round Pick 2014

This is the general trend so far (3rd or 4th trade like this) since the update.

Odd. The new AI valuation of draft picks is pretty straightforward, but there's a couple of places where a misplaced operator or parentheses might have this kind of effect. Sebastian will take a look.

If it helps, this anomaly seems to only occur when it's your own low draft pick. If it's one you've traded for it doesn't seem to hold the same value.
