1) was already mentioned, there needs to be an annoyance factor with the other GM's. You can change an offer a couple of times then they tell you to go away. Also if the agree to an offer, that's the end of it. If you try to change it up to favor yourself more they refuse to deal with you. This should stick for a random amount of time also. You try to screw over a GM and now two years later he still won't listen to any offers you make.

That would make you far more cautious when you make an offer.

2) player AI ... players should refuse to sign with you if you are 9 deep at their position. The 5th best 3rd baseman would not go to a team that the top 2 3rd basemen and a stud prospect are on. Plus all those studs in AAA should be demanding a trade and playing like crap when you don't give it to them.

Those two things right there would go a long way to fixing the "this game is too easy" problem.
Yep. One thing that WWSM does really well is it makes you assign a "role" to any player on your team. A guy you're bringing in to play striker for you is going to look and refuse to sign (except maybe for a LOT of money) if you already have 2 guys you've promised the position to. Unless you promise him an entirely different position, of course. And then if you make a promise and break it, you're screwed far more than if you didn't make that promise in the first place and let the guy go elsewhere.

I'm going to keep bringing that up until I have word that player role will be in 2k7.
