New Feature Suggestion: Seeing Other Team Needs

futuremarlinsgm · 03-08-2025, 06:47 PM

For the new version of OOTP, I would love to have a new feature added to the game where we can see the Team Needs for other teams, much like we can set ourselves as GMs. This would allow for trading to become more focused and easier to achieve.

It would need to be from the point of view of what your scouts sees or what the media sees.
I don't think it would be good for a player to see what the other team THINKS it needs.

But there could be a way for them to communicate. In real life, I just read today, that the Red Sox made it known to other teams that they are looking for right handed outfield depth. In the same way the game lets human players indicate what you're looking for, I could see it applying to computer controlled teams.

I would be down with this and if you put a player on the trade block a team with interest might make an offer

I personalty use Positional Reports when making trades to see the rankings and if they would be more open to certain positions but i think it would be cool if a team made it known I need a LF lf depth so i could try and trade them one of mine before an AI team does
