Trades in Sandbox mode

[tim2339]

I've started a sandbox career with my lad (so we could effectively play 2 player) however even though the other 30 teams are down as computer controlled they accept any trade offered, Bret Hundley in a straight swap for Lemar Jackson. No disrespect to Bret but WTF! Lol. Is this something I am doing wrong??

In sandbox the AI trade offer logic doesn't apply... it's meant to let you do whatever you want to set up various scenarios.

Ah okay. Is there a way of having a local multiplayer or head to head on career mode? If not that would be an awesome addition...... for us anyway!

Not really, career mode is single player, and multiplayer has the commissioner execute trades.

I didn't know this either. Is there anything else that doesn't apply? I play sandbox for the commissioner and player and coach editing tools (mainly to change names if a team signs a fictional person in the first season and for the top draft targets) but play as one team only. I don't convert to career so I have those tools so just curious what the trade offs are as I understood that, in sandbox, teams on "CPU" manage themselves.

Career has more stuff locked down to be more of a challenge, so no trades, no player editing (you can import players to start the league or for draft classes), GM can get fired, no altering other team's, etc.
