Trading Players (Trickle Down Effect?)

[mortalsoul3]

Ladies & Gentlemen --

Question: In Live 2000 Franchise Mode, does trading players generally damage the involved players' value(s) relative to player rating? Or are there other factors involved in assessing the impact of trades --e.g., the age of the player traded, their skill level, their positions, the quality (or lack thereof) of the teams from which they are traded? What of the impact of multiple trades on the teams involved in the barter? Or do the holistic effects of player trades vary circumstance-by-circumstance?

I notice that Live 2000 tends to rely on what appear to be situational patterns to execute the game's strong simulation (patterns which seem presumptuous @ times, as they are apparently encoded into the game's programming). Just wondering if player-trading is one of those scenariors where patterns play themselves out in a detrimental (or excessively beneficial) fashion. I just executed the offseason deals for a 2nd season in Franchise mode, & pulled a slew of deals on the first day of the 2000-01 season, reshaping multiple team rosters . . . & I'm hoping that I haven't ruined anything.

Thx. Peace.
