Wishlist for OOTP19

supermario42 · 12-19-2017, 09:08 AM

I'm loving OOTP18 and am addicted after posting a 118-win season and then losing in the first round of the play-offs!

But there are one or two things I would like to suggest - with the greatest of respect to Markus and the team - to make a fabulous game even better.

The first thing involves the Trade Screen and the trading of draft picks in particular. It is hugely frustrating having multiple picks in the same round and not knowing which one I am potentially trading away.

I have just pinched the overall 1st pick from Boston, and now want to trade away my 24th overall pick, but have no idea which one I would be giving up. Surely the trade screen could show all the picks I own: 1st round, pick 1; 1st round pick 24 etc.

This is my first post, so hope I am not upsetting anyone. And if allowed, I will come back with more of what I hope are viewed as helpful suggestions to which others would be more than welcome to contribute.

Edit: Apologies to mods - in my haste I see I have posted in General Discussion - please can this be moved to OOTP18 board.

draft picks - the top one is the first to be traded when you have more than one in a round.

Thanks for that Mitch. I've just tried it out and it did indeed trade the lower pick. It's still something that could be much improved in my opinion.

I have definitely seen this as a problem. I always assumed that once a different team's pick was traded to me that I couldn't trade it away. You can only trade your own.
