OOTP27 AI trading broken

Surprised no one else has pointed out how broken the trading AI in the new game is. Particularly disappointing when this was a feature highlighted as improving in the run up to release day.

One click towards 'hard' trading difficulty and it's almost impossible to make a trade when shopping players even close to fair. Other teams often offer a host of weirdly poor players with current and potential ratings in the 20s (20-80 scale) for some of the best players in the game.

Example here are the typical players offered in exchange for Hunter Goodman C. Over 100 players offered up by the AI and the best is Dennis Santana RP?!

Hard trading being pretty much unworkable and medium being stupidly easy - has been the story for countless versions of OOTP. Hope this is something that will improve with future patches.
