Trading bug

mtw · 03-07-2002, 01:49 PM

I posted this topic in the OOTP4 feedback forum, but after a repeat occurence it seems like a bug.

In one simmed season, Team 1 and Team 2 swapped Player A and Player B five times between them during in the trading deadline, and three seasons later Teams 3 and 4 swapped Player C for Player D 14 (fourteen) times at the deadline. There was one other instance in each of these seasons of a player being traded multiple times between teams at the deadline.

Obviously this scenario should not occur, and it seems like a code in the trading AI forbidding a player from being traded back to the same team during the same season should be included to prevent this problem, as has been suggested by others.

It's somewhat tacky IMO to be the first reply to your own post...oh, well.

Two seasons later, it happened again at the deadline with 2 players swapped between teams three times.

It's clear this doesn't happen every season, and actually after my first season, the very low trade setting has reduced trades to an acceptable number for me (of course counting the identical trades only as one trade), but hopefully this problem can get some attention in the upcoming patch.

I will look into this.
