Commissioner for Trade Approval

Larryk007 · 10-18-2025, 11:10 AM

IMO a "commissioner option" should be available to those who choose to approve trades.
Much has been written about how the AI causes issues with trading, so best have an approval process to approve trades, just like in MLB.

If yes, then the trade goes through, if no, then it doesn't. The AI can create another trade then with different players and go through the process again.

Please consider for OOTP27!

This would slow the game down immeasurably. You're better off playing in Commish mode and then just rejecting deals you don't like if it comes down to it.

OK I agree with you on slowing down the game. But....when I play, the other teams trade all the time. I think this is what I want to control, AI controlled teams trading with other AI teams.

I am trying to stop the AI from making poor decisions for the benefit of better play.

you can stop AI teams from making deals if you want or turn off trading except when you want to pay attention to trades that yo ucan veto or whatever. you can also in commish mode to go player trade --> pending and see any trades that are slated to happen during the year before they get consummated too.

Wouldn't this just be a toggable option if implemented? "Give player option to veto AI only trades"? If so, could just uncheck it and not bother with it if you're worried it would slow you down too much
