Trading block suggestion

dac4m · 03-12-2003, 03:01 PM

I posted this once before in the wrong forum.

I think besides putting players on the block, it would be great it you could make a "wanted list " where you could
1)Request a certain position with either salary or rating limitations (For example say I want a 5 star 2nd baseman or a backup infielder etc) and then the AI offers you those types of players in trades. I know that they currently offer players on what they perceive you need, but i think or hope I know my needs better than them.

2)Put a player on your trading interest list. For example, iI could put a player from Cincinati on my trade interest list. Then if they are inclined the AI could make me offers throughout the season giving me that player. I bet this happens currently. For example, the Expos may know that the Indians or whoever could be interested in Vlad Guerrero and from time to time make offers for him.

3) Choose a mode for trading. For example you could choose pennant run or slary dump or build for future. If you choose salary dump, the AI could make offers for your expnesive players without putting them on the block. If you choose pennant run, the AI could offer their inpending free agents or expensive players (who are good) for your prospects.

Just some thoughts I had...

I Agree!!!!

I had this problem a lot.

It will be nice to know if a computer team has the same features showing what they are looking for.(establish player or prospect)

1) I love that idea! I really _really_ like it. I wouldn't be surprised if it is kind of programmed in already based on your team's weknesses, but it would be nice to say straight out what _you_ want.

2) Another good idea.

3) And another!

Keep 'em coming, good stuff.

Is there a report that will tell us what players are on the trading block league wide ?

I love it! BUMP.

I like the idea as well.

Also there is still a problem where you see a player you want on the trading block but the team continues to say "we will not trade so & so"...no consistency with that....there is no separate list of players on the trading block, they are in the league transaction news section...would be a good item on the news screen though...

That is a great idea. I would love to see this in the game.
