Trading Deadline

Check out the links below for more info on the trade deadline:

• The Trading Deadline
• League Trading Options

The Trading Deadline is an arbitrary date after which trades can no longer be made for the remainder of the season without the players first clearing waivers. It typically occurs during the second half of the season but it can be changed under the Game >> Game Settings >> League Settings >> Rules Tab.

Trade Deadline Page

When you are within a week of the Trade Deadline day a specific Trade Deadline screen will be available to view. This page will display news/rumors, current trade negotiations, the trade block, and trades already completed.

Trade Deadline Periods

On the trade deadline date users will have a number of periods they can advance through during which the AI will attempt to make offers between themselves and with the user. The trade deadline page will update as users advance through these periods showing trades completed and new rumors potentially uncovered.

The number of periods or advanceable segments during the trade deadline can be changed in the Game >> Game Settings >> League Settings >> Rules Tab. You can choose to have no segments and keep the trade deadline as it was before. Or you can select either Yes for just a pause without any additional sim periods or any of the 1-20 bonus trade period options.

Trade Deadline Timer

Users will also be able to add timers to these periods to make them advance automatically after a set time. The timers used for these periods can also be changed if you go to the Game >> Game Settings >> AI settings page. The timer lengths available are "None" for manual advance or a range of 1-30 minutes per period.
