Trade meter looks different to the two teams involved?

I recently made this trade with Memphis in CUST-21: http://cust21.myfootballnow.com/trade/516

When I made it, the Memphis owner asked me how I had submitted it because he had tried to offer the same deal and the game told him it was unbalanced. We compared notes on what we saw on the trade meter and it was very different:

Current UI
ABQ sees light green in favor of MEM
MEM sees red in favor of ABQ

Preview UI
ABQ sees light green in favor of ABQ
MEM sees yellow in favor of ABQ


Is this expected?

Yes. It's based on your own weights.

I really thought I had read somewhere it was based on default weights. OK that makes sense. Glad I put this here instead of in the bug section.

Thanks.

I thought the same thing.

Its a flawed system. Why? Because theoretically I could set my attributes to make a player who is normally below 30 overall into a star player. Then trading him as such.

Is that a flaw or is that a fix?

Its a flaw in my opinion if you use it to deceive other owners. Everyone should know what they are getting.

But regardless of what ratings you put on a player, when I look at him I'll see my ratings, right? So I know what I'm getting. Purposefully manipulating the ratings may change what the trade meter will allow or not allow, but should not be effective at changing what other owners see.

You'll see it in your own ratings.
