If they went from settings to a scale people would just exploit the scale. It's changing the game but not stopping people from exploiting the game.
To the OP since you are still playing 14 you don't know but they made the difficulty for EVERY setting harder not just average. Plus shop a player is different than it was in 14. Also whats wrong with just playing on hard?
Also trades aren't harder now it just takes more time to find trades.

What you might call 'exploiting the game' is what someone else might call 'Living the fantasy the way they want to live it'. It's a sandbox, not a job. You can't change how people want to play, nor should you try.
Anyway I don't think people are wanting to exploit the AI. If they wanted that, they'd just play on Very Easy. What they want is to make trades where each side gets a reasonably equal amount of talent, within the framework of the game, with no house rules.
I don't know what the shop player feature is like now, but just making all of the levels harder or easier isn't the problem. The problem is that there are too few levels and the gap between them is too big. My perfect level on OOTP14 would probably be about 60% of the way between average and hard. Maybe now average would work for me, but now a player who was happy with average before doesn't have an appropriate difficulty level.
I've said why I didn't like playing on a difficulty level that, in my view, is too hard. The AI on a hard setting turns down trades that, if I were on the other side, I'd take in a heartbeat. I might have a team that won 97 games and the AI doesn't like anyone on my roster, wouldn't even pay $1 for them or give me a crap prospect, except for the top 3 players. On hard I maybe make 1 trade a year and that's only when I both have a logjam and am really desperate to fill a hole. It's not much different than turning trades off.
