Open DP Trading at Spring Training

[thenamelesspoet]

I know most GMs would rather set their team before the season starts rather than a month into it, it works fine in 5TM so I don't know what the huge fuss is, open DP trading on march 1st so GMs can finalize their clubs before the season starts.

And that hasn't/doesn't happen already?

That's a valid point, but for years and years I've been trying to say that as a reason to open up draft pick trading earlier. Simming until Spring Training is a big deal for me. Simming to February 28 would accomplish the same thing and not allow the draft class to be known.

this...

Probably a bad example as I overvalued Clinkscales but if he was what I had expected him to be then it would have been silly to wait until Sim 2. We had the trade worked out in the offseason any way and lets say my team was contending... and I was out by 1 game at the end of the year... I would have been really annoyed if the only reason I didn't get in was because I couldn't trade for him earlier.

I think the February 28th idea is a good one. It's the best of both worlds.
