Nobody else can see the trade details except for the 2 teams involved.

oh ok...nevermind.

I think it needs to be tweaked a little bit. I made a trade for a 70rated rb for a 3rd pick and I was barely able to pull it off according to the needle. Even though the rb was like 5th on the depth chart from the team that placed him on the trade block.

Just because that HB is a 70 for you does not mean he's a 70 for your trade partner. Those scales can be quite different from what you expect depending on what the player weights are set at.

Well, that almost makes it worthless, eh?

The trade meter is a representation of how your coach views the trade, not the other team's.
