Fan Happiness: Traded Our First Round Pick

Iceman90 · 01-11-2025, 01:10 PM

I am checking the Fan Happiness rating for my team as the season starts, and I see that I got -2 for trading our first round pick. However, I actually traded up in the draft - going from 15th to 12th. Why would fans be upset by this? If anything, I feel that fans should be happy that we traded up to get a better player.

Perhaps this metric needs to be tweaked to be "Traded Down" or "Traded out of the first round" as the qualifiers for fan unhappiness?

You should've received an offsetting bonus for acquiring the other pick, did you not get that?

I did not.

Playing FHM 11 I must say I've not once seen a positive bonus applied when moving up in draft picks. It's always just the negative for trading a pick away.

Yeah, it was missing, it's added back in the next update.
