holy player movement, batman

1. I like seeing transactions on days other than Monday.
2. Every Monday is like a day at the repossessed cars auction. I'm not complaining because I like lots of player movement rather than not much player movement, but holy cow, teams release and add players constantly. If real teams did this all the farm directors would be fired for not knowing what they're doing.

FWIW Trading frequency is "Normal." But it's not trades I'm seeing, just players being released and signed. I'm using the default rosters.

I have noticed that too and was wondering about it. Every Monday the computer controlled teams go crazy and sign quite a many players to minor league contracts. Is this the way it was intended or is it a little out of whack?

yeah i believe this should be addressed..i like seeing player movement too..but the rate of guys getting signed, released, and re-signed by other teams is out of whack.

I'd like to see the trade slider (or a whole new slider) affect player movement. I have trades set on 'low' becuase it takes me a while to learn teams. Now, however, they have a tendency to release half their organisation at the dawn of each week.

Has anyone seen the transaction frequency decrease after a season or two? I was wondering if maybe the AI GMs would settle down after they've "molded" their teams.

I was wondering about this myself... I'm only a few weeks into the season, but I was hoping it would occur less as the season progressed. This doesn't happen?

Does it help at all turning the trading frequency down?
