There seems to be a wide range of opinions of what people think a trading interface should provide in terms of ease and frequency of trading. To me, any truly great game is widely customizable, and this is certainly the case with OOTP (anyone reading this should be familiar with the wide array of available customizations).

With this in mind, I think trading should be customizable. I already know that it is at least partially customizable, in that you can set the trade frequency between AI teams. Perhaps this could be extended to the willingness of AI to make trades. Personally, I would like it if I had to fight tooth and nail to get players off the AI..... but at the same time, it is a great point that many people enjoy ripping off the computer (and what isn't enjoyable about it?) The point is, this shouldn't be a one or the other option.

Perhaps the stinginess of the AI GM could be tied to the manager level? Or, is it already? I only play on "Big Leaguer". Feel free to edify me on this point.
