Trading is a key aspect of Madden games. By requesting a trade, you can have the option to transfer to another term. However, the feature to request a trade in Madden 23’s Franchise mode is not available.

This means that you’ll have to start from scratch and end up losing all progress if you want to play on a different team.

Luckily, there’s actually a way to force trades, and that’s what we’ll talk about in this guide.

How to Force Trades in Franchise Mode in Madden NFL 23

In order to force trades in Franchise mode, we’ll be using the punter trading method. Basically, this involves editing and changing a player’s position into something that he’s not particularly good at. In this case, we’ll be changing a player’s position to a Punter, hence the name.

It’s basically all you need to do, but before you do it, make sure that you’re a league commissioner. This is because it won’t be possible to do punter trading if you’re not. Also, keep in mind that if you do this method to an X-Factor player, it will end up randomizing his X-Factor ability.

The reason why punter trading works is because it will lower a player’s overall, allowing you to trade that player with another.
