I'm still very newbish, but I just set trade difficulty to "Very Hard" (neutral) in my fictional league. I was playing with "Hard", but the AI still seemed a little gullible on this setting. Not a push-over, but still willing to entertain trades that no GM in real life would seriously consider.
Specifically, I was trying to pry a rookie super-star-in-the-making lefty 3B-man from a team with low budget / revenue. He was making league minimum, and the team was in the red, so they couldn't afford to take on any new salary burden. I was offering a lot of junk in return -- some mediocre minor leaguers, a 1st and 3rd round pick.
On "Hard" setting, the AI said "OK, I'll have to consider this, let me get back to you. But on "Very Hard," AI said "This is a bad deal for us -- throw in more or I guess we don't have anything further to discuss." Since that seemed a much more realistic response to me, I've decided to go with "Very Hard" here on out.
In the end, the Very Hard AI wouldn't make any deal. Who knows -- maybe this will prove very frustrating in the long run -- but then again, that strikes me as pretty realistic!
