lol I feel so cheap everytime I do this. But sometimes there's a player that I want but there aren't many players on my team that I want to give away, so I'll sign a good free agent like Chris McAlister and then trade him away just to get that player that I wanted. Pretty cheap IMO but I just can't help it sometimes. haha. Anyone done this before?

No. and Yes, that is cheesing.

Yes I do it but not to rip off teams, I do it because 3-4 teams have guys that are 6-0 and 245 lbs starting at DE.

So I give them real 3-4 DEs and move those players to OLB, most of the time I make sure I give them 2 players and do it for their 7th rounder than I just trade back their 7th rounder for 1 of the players that I originally traded them.

Lol I know. I try not to do, but sometimes I just can't fight the urge....

hahahaha I take back my "no I don't cheat in offline franchise" because I used to do this when I would assemble my Texas Tech all stars teams. Zach Thomas was always too hard to acquire without trading all of your high draft picks.

Cheap but funny. Ah memories

I used to do it to rack up top 10 picks.

It isn't cheesing. It's cheap. Big difference there.

Yeah I occasionally flip guys. Do I care if it is cheap? No...the game is cheap so wtf would I give a crap?

Until they actually make a game that plays strictly based on ratings and not this cpu bias crap (as in how cpu pass blocking is far superior to user blocking) I have no issues doing stuff like this.
