It depends on your perseption and the reason you join a league. When I started my league we did a total redraft which I thought would limit the amout of trades since most owners got the players they wanted for the most part. We are at the trade deadline and their has been 5 trades so far, I probibly see 5-6 deals now at the deadline.

I also think it has to do with the AGES of your owners, I tend to have older guys in my league. One guy just quit my league because he said their was a lack of partisapation, in his view everyone wasnt making deals nightly so none was active even though I get 25 exports every sim. This same dude I seen in another league I just quit make trades every day....this league had like 200 trades the first season and is proibly on pace for 150 this sim. I found this nutty so I left.

Making a couple deals in a season to improve your team is one thing but making 20-25 trades just to make deals is another. I found most that deal like crazy have no PLAN or DIRECTION for their team.

One huge thing that helps tone down the trading frenzy is not allowing to trade draft picks.
