I ALWAYS have mine set as HARD and I like the results. Good trades in my favor are very hard to come by. I hardly ever get any sent to me that make me jump up and down, but to me, that is a good thing. It makes me think that I am playing 'smart' people.

I have made a couple trades that I thought were in my favor, but not by using the option to see what people are interested, but instead I go to the trade screen, find a player I want to get and then select MAKE THIS WORK. I have made several trades this way. No big block buster trades, but it has let me find that 5th starter or left fielder that I needed.

To me, it makes the game harder, to make up for the not so smart AI in some other parts of the game.

When Reggie Jackson got hurt, I could not find a power hitter replacement, without giving up a fine player. That made perfect sense to me.
