Multiple Trade Offers

Would it be possible to put something like a tick box next to possible trade partners instead of a drop down list?
The reason for this is is that its quite time consuming sending out the same offer to 31 teams. I also think it would be a great addition in stimulating the stagnant trade market.

I would assume this would only work if you are offering something in exchange for draft picks.

What if one of the teams doesn't have the pick you are asking for? I guess the AI could skip them when sending offers.

So, I'm offering player X for a 2nd round pick. Instead of posting in the trade forum, I send out an offer to all teams, and the first one to accept gets the player.

Is that how you envision it working?

that's it in a nutshell.

Yeah, obviously if a team doesn't not have what you want it will just red X them or something.
For example, like today I wanted to trade a RB and FB for a 2nd rounder, some teams did not have 2nd's so they would not be sent out, and if possible the teams that get excluded are listed .

Interesting idea.

It would probably require a completely separate trade creation screen.
The left side (your team) is normal. But the right side is just a list of standard draft picks (round 1-7 for the next 3 years).

Considering the different sections that draft picks are put into to determine their value based off of that team's current record or previous season's record I'm not really sure how well that would work.

Isn't this really what the trading block is designed for anyway. Why not put your guy on the block and put a note stating what pick you are looking for.

Because the trading block isn't working, plus some owners seem to lazy to even put a trade offer together.
Also sometimes I get trade offers out of the blue, some good , some bad but they are always welcome. Having a multiple offer option would compliment this.

I think he means people are ignoring it. I hope. I'm not aware that it's not working otherwise.
