I am not sure why there is a daily limit to shop players around?

my first thought is to keep the game moving forward

If that's the reason then it's silly. For those of us who play solo anyway.

in real life you can't possibly talk to all gms about all players.. i think it's just to rein it in a bit. in addition to other reasons, too.

it only limits you during busier times of the year... i.e. it's no big deal to shop 10 players over 4 days in the offseason... near the july trade deadline it's might be something to consider.

all you have to do is plan ahead a bit, and it will never be a problem.

as far as comparing to RL - there's absolutely no equivalent to this feature... it's there to make a video game less tedious. GM's will never respond to phone call with multiple options for you to choose from with no negotiating, lol.

"here, take this equivalent player in return. in fact, i have 3-4+ options for you to choose from, because i'm such a nice guy.. i lead with my best offer because i am good at my job." lol not true and not happening in RL like that, ever.

more likely response: "what you thought i'd do your busy-work and come up with 3-4 decent options for you? call back when you aren't wasting my time."

obviously there is some back and forth and suggestions about who to include on both sides... it's just not neat and pretty like the shop-player around... it would probably take more than 1 day to shop 3 palyers to all GMs in the league. if anything, they should reduce it to be more realistic, lol... i think it's in a good spot, actually.

It's limited to prevent the feature from being spammed.
