Trade offer to the whole league?

Grudunza · 05-07-2011, 12:59 PM

Is there a way to offer up a player to the whole league, to see what offers you might get back? It's pretty tedious to have to go individually team by team to see who might want a certain player, or to figure out what player(s) you might want. I haven't played OOTP before, so I don't know if that kind of thing is standard for OOTP or particular to iOOTP, but I played another baseball sim a few years ago (Pure Sim, I think), and as I recall you could do that and it made it a lot easier to make deals.

Anyway, other than that, this is really terrific. And very realistic... I'm playing through the current season for the Seattle Mariners, and they have an uncanny knack at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

A Trade Block and Shop Around trade feature is already on my list for a future update. Other people seem to want it, too.

Fantastic. Thanks!

Good to hear. I would really like and make use of a shop around feature. I'm hesitant to make trades right now because of how tedious it is to search for players that the AI would be willing to trade.

I would like to see this implemented as well.

I missed that feature myself during the Road to Release articles and added it to my list. Then I got a few requests for a Trade Block/Shop Around feature so I will try to add it. I doubt that we will get it into the first update but it is high on my list for the second update.

Yeah! That would be great. How about if you want to trade for a player with another player AND cash considerations to make up the shortfall?
