TRADES DIALOG
Setting Up a Trade
First, choose
the team that you wish to offer a trade to from the
drop-down list box in the middle of the dialog. When you
pick a team, the list of players below the team name
will change to reflect your choice.
To put together a trade offer, select a player then
click the "Add To Deal" button above that player's team.
Alternatively, you can double-click a player to add him
to, or remove him from, a trade offer.
If you would like to add
money to the deal, click the arrow buttons next to edit
boxes to the right (to increment the amount in millions
of dollars). The computer will not let you set a
monetary figure in a trade that is higher than the
amount of cash the team currently has.
Understanding The Other
Team's Needs
The box below the
other team's roster shows the opposing GM's current needs
in terms of players. Offering players that match this
description will create a more attractive trade offer.
Clicking a player on the other team's roster will give a
brief summary of the GM's current willingness to trade
that player (displayed just below the team's list of
players).
Proposing a Trade
To see if the
opposing owner will accept the deal, hit Submit Offer.
The other team's owner will respond, either accepting
the deal or letting you know how reasonable he considers
the deal to be. If he declines your offer, click the
'Hint' button to get a description of that team's needs.
Building a trade offer around these needs will increase
the likelihood of your offer being accepted.
Getting a Counter Offer
If the other
owner turns down your offer, you can ask for a Counter
Offer in return. Click the "Get Counter Offer" button to
ask the opposing owner to add players to the deal until
he finds it acceptable. The owner will not remove any
players from the trade offer, and will not alter the
amount of money that you proposed to change hands.
Within those parameters, he will try to craft the
fairest possible trade that he would accept. If this is
too difficult he will let you know that he is having
difficulty building a trade involving those players at
which point you should start from scratch with your
negotiations.
To clear an entire trade
offer, simply click the 'Clear Offer' button.
You can involve up to 15
players on each team in the trade.
Balancing the
Trade
To save
negotiation time, you can let the computer balance the
points for any trade offer. Just fill in the players and
click "Balance Points" and the other team will tell you
how many points he will contribute (or demand in return)
in order to consider the trade a fair trade.
Scouting the Players
In many
parts of Baseball Mogul, double-clicking on a player's
name with bring up that player's Scouting Report. For ease of use,
double-clicking a player in the Trade Dialog instead
allows you to quickly add or remove players from your
trade offer. If you wish to view the Scouting Report of
a player who's listed on the Trade Dialog, click on the
name and hit the 'Scouting Report' button next to the
relevant player list.
