I never really found the trade block to work all that well, so, while I miss it, I'm not that broken-hearted. I really miss being able to shop a player, but, honestly, I think that made things way too easy for you as a GM.
one feature that is kind of nice is that when you make a trade offer, in a day or so the GM will either say yes, or "no...but if you add in ____ we might have a deal". which, in effect, works pretty comparably to the old shop player thing. I still find the AI requests the same players on my roster, just like before, so this can still use tweaking, I guess. but, overall, it does feel a bit more realistic and a bit more difficult (a good thing).

I don't have the game yet, but have read the basic manual, and preparing to jump into the 350 page "supplement."
Regardless, I think that's a great point. It did make things way too easy. Point in fact - how long has it taken the Cubbies to find a "replacement" for Derek Lee this year? And who is the replacement? Phil "I'm way past the hill" Nevin.
