I was hoping that with OOTP 24, I would be starting up a new long-term game finally, but I just haven't gotten very immersed in any of my attempts thus far. Maybe I will try again with some more patches,
In regard to the bold... My thoughts based on my observations in my game.

I don't think that they are trading just to trade. I base that first on not seeing the same guys getting traded again and again. IE once on the AI team they are sticking. Teams aren't thinking "I need a 2b, trading a LF for that 2b, and then backtracking to "I need a LF". Also, after the initial large number of trades, the volume of trades settled down to a "normal" level. To me if the AI was "trading just to trade" it would look a bit like the old "sign, release, sign". IE the trading would be on a treadmill, and not showing such a large drop in volume.

To be fair my sample size is small as I play out all of my games, so only March, April, and half of May have gone by on "average" frequency and 25/25/25/25 evaluation. Maybe when I hit the high volume of late June and July I'll see it differently.
