I keep the prospect/veteran slider on neutral. If I slide it to either extreme, it is easier to fleece the AI and trades between AI teams become even more lopsided. For example, if the slider is heavily prefer prospects the AI will over value a couple mediocre 22 year old cup of coffee players and another team will trade away a very good 28 year old with 5 good years left for those cup of coffee players. Trades between "win now" teams and "rebuilding" teams make more sense to me with the slider in the middle (or even bumped toward the veteran).
I could do the same in that case, trade away a couple of my 2 star potential youngster for a proven 28 year old with 5 good years left.
My rules. Make trade harder slider slightly right of center. Only trade with a team that makes an offer to me. Only trade if trade seems reasonable. If I win division, I stop making trades until I don't win division. Obviously I don't have an overpowering team but I am usually competitive.
