Three way Trade Process

Steve Strzepek of BTTF · 01-31-2002, 09:31 AM

Our league just made a 3 way trade.......one player to each team. How can that trade be processed in the OOTP3 game? Do I have to create a fake player, put him on one of the rosters with a minor league contract and change it to a one for one and another one for one deal. Then release the fake player on the new team ? Has any one ever had this happen ? Is there a better way ?

Use Pierre's editor it allows you to just drag and drop the players.

If you don't want to use Pierre's editor follow this process.

Just process it this way:

Team A has Player 1
Team B has Player 2
Team C has Player 3

Trade Process:

Team A sends Player 1 to Team B for Player 2
Team B sends Player 1 to Team C for Player 3

Following the trades:

Team A has Player 2
Team B has Player 3
Team C has Player 1

All a three team deal in the Major Leagues is a series of Two team deals that are dependant on each other to work.

Last years Oak-KC-TB deal can be looked at as:
TB and Oak trade Ben Grieve for Roberto Hernandez
then:
Oak and KC trade Roberto Hernandez for Johnny Damon

That's all a three or four or more team deal really is, but a series of 2 team deals tied together.
