Better trading suggestions
Ditch the "untouchable" status, as the AI never uses it anyway. Keep the status' as either "unknown", or "on the block". Rid of the "shop player" function, and ramp up the way the AI looks at the trading block. To me, the shop player function is just not realistic.

At least allow the Shop Player feature to let you offer multiple players in a trade.
And on the flip side, allow the AI to offer multiple players for players you shop around. |

That's shopping a player, a feature I happen to like in the game. Maybe an option to disable it, but not getting rid of it. |

It's a bit of a mystery as to why the AI can't be programmed to make multiple player offers, both in response to shopping a player, but also in response to a "Make this deal work now" request. I say this because the AI is obviously able to formulate multiple player offers when communicated thru email. There may be some data formatting/display problem at work, I suppose. ![]() |

I'd just like to have the function like in EHM. I put 2-3 guys together and say, "offer to all teams", and each team gives me an offer to play with. That makes it so maybe individually I might not get a 1 for 1 offer for some players, but maybe I can shop a 2- or 3-for-1 type deal.

Happy to take your word for it. So, why not just put someone on the trading block rather than do the shop around thing? You've already incurred the moral hit. Presumably the AI checks the trading block on some routine schedule, like the waiver wire (perhaps every day?). Isn't the trading block virtually the same as shopping around a player every day? Or is there some essential difference that isn't occurring to me at the moment (otherwise known as a "senior moment" I believe

How about like Proposed Trades in the News like lets say David Wright from the Mets to the Green Bay Packers for Brett Farve and so on if you have the NFL League in your League to meaning the Mets have the option to reject it or accept it or send back a counter offer like in NHL Eastside Hockey Manager.
Rumor Mill would be good to and along with Organzation Report Page that would show Top Prospects,Team meaning maybe Marlins Delph Chart meaning like Top Catcher maybe John Baker to worst one like maybe Gren Murphy at the moment because not ready for the Majors but could move up spots if develops better from your MLB team to Short season team and like bester Hitter,Best Pinch Hitter and so on.

But as Markus would say, it is working as intended. |

But do you get offers on the same players by using the shop around function? I don't do a lot of trading, so I've never spent much time analyzing this aspect of the game. It's certainly possible that the trading block function is essentially non-functional (it wouldn't be the only example of this in OOTP).

Shop player is what I use when I want to trade one of my players and I don't want to wait for an AI team to get around to proposing a deal. The only drawback is that I usually get crap offered back to me in return.
