Trading Bug (Possible reputation overcap?)

takao · 03-22-2025, 08:20 PM

Hey there, I'm getting a bug in franchise mode where trading basically becomes impossible after a certain point. I've attached screenshots of example trades (one with a "normal player" and one with a player considered a "drastically overpaid vet" who should have negative trade value) and my settings. *Any* trade after a certain point (I noticed it after I'd made 10 trades in-season) becomes significantly harder, until it becomes basically impossible to make any trades. Opposing GMs will consistently *only* ask for my top players or prospects for any player, including 20/20 prospects and aging veterans.

It's worth noting that I had "GM Reputation" turned on in the second screenshot until fairly recently. I *think* what might have happened is that an underflow bug occurred combined with my trade settings being on "normal/easy", but I'm not sure.

It's also worth noting, opposing GMs are still able to make relatively "normal" trade requests via email, they just won't discuss trades with me manually. If I attempt to modify the trade they offer in any way, they immediately swap back to asking for my top players for whoever they were offering me.

Can you upload your saved game files for us to take a look at (just need the files ending in .dat, not all the folders)? Thanks!

Hi Lukas, I went ahead and created a ZIP file of what should be *mostly* only the .dat files. Some other files might have slipped through; if you need anything else from this let me know.

EDIT: The site isn't allowing me to upload the zip file. Will keep retrying.

EDIT 2: I'm going to just upload it to a filesharing site. Here's the zip file: https://mega.nz/file/GxonxDqK#YoL1Pf...lA8lSDbUU18Cmg

I probably could've lessened the folder size by removing the retirements and faces .dat files, but...

Uploaded the files here (also in my edited post): https://mega.nz/file/GxonxDqK#YoL1Pf...lA8lSDbUU18Cmg

Also uploaded to the ftp drive under the name "Challenge Mode (This time for real).lg - copy.zip"

Just checking in, has this been looked at at all?

Checking in again, any idea what's going on?

I don't think we've gotten to this just yet, but it's on our list of things to look at.
