MANUAL TRADE BROKEN?

Am I missing something? Just got the game and started an offline ccm. Tried to make some trades and the lights on the left hand screen are that indicate interest are doing weird stuff. For example, I list a player for a trade and cycle through the teams to find an interested team. Find a green interest light and propose a trade. Suddenly the light turns red? Even if I just ask for a 7th round pic. Or even before I ask for anything (just when the screen changes)

More bizzarely, when cycling through interested teams, a team can show interest (green light), I cycle past and then return only to find interest light is red????? They changed their mind in last couple of seconds?? Have made a million trades before in previous Maddens. This is a joke. Why can't they sort these bugs out before release.

Re: MANUAL TRADE BROKEN?

The lights initially as you're scrolling are DEFINITELY broken in Madden 25 for some reason. They weren't in last year's release.

That alone makes trading a lot harder.

My recommendation when trying to trade a low-rated player on your team (below 80 overall) is to just scroll down the list of teams until you see a team with a position of need that matches the player you're trying to trade. Then offer them that player for their first round pick. If they aren't interested AT ALL in your player, you'll see a message stating exactly that. If they are interested, you'll see the "more value" message.

Also, if any teams make offers for a player you put on the Trade Block, those teams will always be interested on the Manual Trade screen. I tend to put most 80+ players on the trade block and then use the responses/offers to identify interested teams.

^This is exactly what I do. I agree 110%.

As you cycle through the teams the light indicator is for the team you just passed. It's a weird glitch but it becomes obvious after a while. It can get a bit confusing when scrolling one way then another or when you run into a couple teams in a row that are interested.

Thanks guys, two quality pointers. The glitch sucks but you have given me a couple of work-arounds. Much appreciated.

Re: MANUAL TRADE BROKEN?

Thanks from me as well. This was driving me nuts. Trying to shift a DT has been very frustrating this morning. Even teams with a desperate need the position didn't seem to be interested and the whole weird glitchy colours was throwing me right off. You are absolutely spot on, the colours light up for the team you were previously looking at. Mental. Absolutely ridiculous EA.
