    Someone takes over a ghost team with the the intention to trade players to a confederate in the league at bargain basement prices. We publicize all trades through trade announcements to allow people to protest trades, but we obviously don't want to spend a lot of effort undoing trades. It may also mess up statistics. Not sure on that with out checking the code. We might look at this again later.

    Good example of what you said is like trade deadline where someone takes over a ghost team and sees they'll miss playoffs and trades players for draft picks to speed up rebuilding process and free up cap space. And the other team has 1 or 2 missing pieces to make playoff run so they'll be happy to give up those draft picks etc.
    Biggest thing for me would be revisit the free agency in season, but add a fee to the salary cap total if move is made or keep it to max amount of moves. Im in a week where 3 of my 4 guards are out and 2 of my 3 runningbacks are out (which is on me for not seeing that before season started), but now I'm stuck with street free agents at rb and backup tackle at guard.

    What you are saying is normal, if it's the deadline and I'm looking to dump and rebuild, teams actually do that in real life.

    As long as the deadline is the same as the NFL, what is the issue?

    I am guessing that people were taking over teams and making trades to help a buddy in a different league?

    I guess that can be an issue, don't other games just have a period of trade verification and approval?
