Instead of the "Shop Player" feature

Instead of having a "Shop Player" feature, which doesn't work as well as a lot of people want it to and has been described as being very difficult to code to get it to produce multi-player offers, why not have a "Team Needs" feature where the game generates what types of players or positions each team needs on one page? It could also show what mode each team is in (whether a team is rebuilding or in a win now mode, etc.) and also show how much money each team has or lacks and an "Initiate Trade With This Team" button once you find a possible match for the player(s) you want to trade.

I think this might be easier to code and would also save GMs time rather than have them looking through a bunch of players they don't really want just to find a possible deal.

This would be huge, especially for fictional solo players.

Yeah I think so, too. It would be easier to figure out deals find the best trade partners this way.

And an ability to set just how much cash you're willing to include in a deal with a particular player. I'm often willing to eat the remainder of the contract (it's sunk cost anyways, so why not?), so why shouldn't I be able to advertise that along with the player?

As an aside: Improved cash & payroll logic in trades.
