Trade

A trade is an NFL transaction between two or three teams involving the transfer of players and draft picks. In the real life NFL, many trades occur over the NFL seasons. Generally, in the Madden NFL series, trades only occur in the season and franchise modes of the game.

Trade Value[]

A trade value is a value to limit the interest of CPU teams. Player values can be determined by their OVR rating, age/years pro and depth on their position. In most 6th generation releases, trade values can range from F (lowest) to A++ (highest).

The player can exploit the trade value by editing the position of the player they want to trade for before making the trade, then reverting the position after the trade is complete.

The player would receive the following messages after the player initiates a trade.

Trade Me[]

A Trade Me indicates that a player demands to be traded to another team and refuses to play for his current team. This is due to the player's morale dropping to an extremely low rating due to a poor season/being benched for most of the season. A player who has a Trade Me will no longer play a down for the team they demanded to be traded from.
