Stadawim Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 Yeah, but good luck trying to get what you want. I've learned that even if you control the entire trade, it's still damn near impossible to get the trade finalized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Beebe Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 What's the deal with that? I'm just starting to get into Tecmo III, and I have no idea what is going on during the trading and free agent periods. Can someone elaberate on how exactly to trade?

Bad Moon Rison Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 Before your season, you select "Trade Mode" at the schedule screen. Then, you have three rounds of trades once you begin your season. You can only trade within the position you are asking for (e.g.- WR for a WR). Then, if you're lucky, the trade will pass once you finish each round. If not, I'd suggest trying another trade (although I think I've placed the same trade twice and it went through the second time). The types of trades that are usually accepted are players with comparable skills.Once you finish the trading rounds, you move into the free agency mode (my favorite part). Your remaining FA points are at the top right of the screen. Each player has a certain "FA Vaule," which is a very general assessment of what they are worth. The cool part about this is that some players play above and below what their FA Value is. The fun part is finding which players are steals and which players are flops for their value. The Free Agency part involves some key decisions about the outlook of your team: Do you drop some of your OL to sign Neon Deion Sanders or do you keep them and try to establish an excellent running game? It all depends on the players available.Once that's over, the season commences.Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knobbe Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 I don't know if a trade is more likely if the players are evenly matched. The whole process seems quite random. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smacaskill Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 Sometimes I'm able to trade my scrubs for star players. I don't think there is any logic as to what trades are accepted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Moon Rison Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 I've never really had an experience where the trade was too far off. I meant to say that you couldn't get someone like Herman Moore with Bill Brooks. I think there has to be something a little better than that for the offer to go through. But, kinda like real life, there are some stupid trades made occasionally.I usually try to trade for good backup players, as it seems the COM puts less weight on the impact of those players.

Knobbe Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 I've traded backup QBs for Steve Young and 10 point linemen for Reggie White. Set your standards higher..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Moon Rison Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Wow, you've got to be kidding me. I've never seen anything come even close to that. Maybe I'll try to do a trade like that... how many times did you have to try it to get it to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nameless Loser Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 Drop anyone to sign Deion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Moon Rison Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 I think Deion is overrated, probably because he's a corner (which I control infrequently). Give me a good safety anyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smacaskill Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 you could just move deion to safety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Moon Rison Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 Two things:1) I usually keep position players where they're at, unless it's someone like Eric Metcalf, who is a RB/WR.2) I think good safeties tend to be more well-rounded throughout most categories than good corners. They have a better feel than corners, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nameless Loser Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 I tried the tricks you suggested, just giving the CPU a plain old BS trade. Here are my results: 1st trading season: John Jett (I think that's the Cowboys P) for Rich Camarillo (lopsided) 2nd trading season: Gregory Miles for Junior Seau (incredibly insanely lopsided) 3rd trading season: tried to get Rod Woodson for some buttfucker, didn't work Combined with being able to sign DE Bills, Deion Sanders, and a host of offensive linemen in FA, I got the Cowboys all the way to 12-4 in their 3rd season after starting 13-3. At least I got the All-Time Greats by playing each Cowboys Super Bowl MAN and simming the rest. The Bears signed RB G Bears when I passed on him in favor of Emmitt (I know, cop out, but I felt guilty doing it). However now I have no cap room whatsoever to go and sign CB G Cardinals. Damn.

Sterling Sharpe Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 trading for Reggie WHite is easy, the Pack have no respect for him or Brett Favre, you can get one of them almost anytime, regardless of who you trade for them... but all in all, most trade are totally random Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairman79 Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 I've never had a great deal of luck when I've signed Deion Sanders, he's usually been good for about two interceptions a season. But in the season I am playing right now, he is playing like a f'ing animal. Through seven games he has seven interceptions, and I've returned two for touchdowns.

kork Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 If you had 300 FA points, would you sign Deion or two good, above average corners (or LBs, or DLs)?Sure, Deion can make some plays the others can't. But I've seen Deion get injured in Week 1. I suppose it's just a tradeoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadawim Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 If you had 300 FA points, would you sign Deion or two good, above average corners (or LBs, or DLs)? This is an awesome question, and the true beauty behind TSB3. Cool you can even ask that, ain't it? Makes a player feel like he's doing something in all aspects of the team; playing the game, coaching, and managing/owning. Sounds like fantasy football, too.But to answer, i would definitely take Deion. I'm all about somebody fast in the backfield, regardless of tackling prowess. Plus, when you put him with the Jets he helps out a great deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Moon Rison Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 I saw the computer as the Jets drop nearly its entire defense one season to sign Deion. The Jets still sucked, but seemed to improve a little.I believe in TSB III, it is best to have two good corners than one great corner. I rarely use corners, so having one good and one bad one allows the opposing offense to exploit a part of my defense. Of course, it always depends on who you match up against that week and the other team's stats. The more good players you have on the field, the better.

Stadawim Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 The Jets being CPU operated? That figures. I like to use the Nickel with their D and stick Deion as the nickelback. If you put the best they have in at CB, there will be better overall performance of the secondary. What their really hurt by is a schedule laden with pass-happy teams, or teams that have no trouble getting to a backfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Moon Rison Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 Interesting strategy. I don't think it could ever work for me, since I like to change defensive formations a lot, and that means the best player won't be on the field in short situations.

Chairman79 Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Deion continues to play like a man possessed in my latest season. I played three games Friday night, and he picked off a pass in each of the last two and I returned them both for touchdowns. He now has 5 INT's for touchdowns on the season.I never control Deion, and he seems to do well when I am someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
