If you want to make the game tougher, try to put a limit on the number of revisions you make to a trade offer. (One thing that might help: an optional patience meter for AI GMs, the way there is for draft bonuses/free agency. The more times you try to tweak a deal, the harder a bargain the opposing GM drives. Eventually, they just hang up on you. That kind of thing.)


This is probably one of the most commonly used exploits and it is indeed one of the best ways to rebuild a team quickly. I love the idea of a "patience meter." It would allow for some back and forth in trade discussions but not let the user go overboard.
