Trading Difficulty Settings
For anybody who may know, what exactly is the difference between say "average" and hard...or even "very hard" for that matter. Obviously it's more difficult the higher you go, but I am interested in what factors go into making any given setting less or more difficult. Is it talent, potential talent, contracts, etc..? Why and how does the AI view a proposed trade, and what factor does it consider important? The trading module just doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason to it from what I can tell. Team needs don't seem to have any influence on the harder levels...which I don't understand. Is it really to easy to rip off the AI and build a winner using average?...or is this just the perception of the player?

EDIT: I can actually answer one question instead of adding more questions. I know contracts have a certain weight because once I added Steven Drew(2013 MLB Quickstart version) to a trade and they said they will not accept the contracts of overpayed starters. But I guess this brings up another question. The contract could just be like a go-no go thing, where if the player is overpaid, then it sends up a red-flag to the AI. Or it could be something like a modifier, where if the player is underpaid, this will weight the trade positively, or if he paid an average salary, it is neutral. Actually, I didn't answer any of your questions. Sorry. EDIT: Oh, it looks like Orcin answered some of the questions about AI trade factors this morning.

I played with ratings on for years, and I also ran into the same problem where I thought Average was too easy to rip off the AI and Hard was too difficult to make a fair deal. I always had my AI evaluation set to default and it never really worked for me. |

I had it on Average for ages but it got way too easy to rip off the CPU, just one example i offered up utility man Ramon Santiago, shopped him and got offered lots of very good players in return including Dylan Bundy with a 77 POT (i play 20-80 scale) straight up for 3 months of .325 OBP Ramon Santiago, i mean, come on.
So now i play on Hard and yes, it is harder to get what you want, but i like the challenge, to get something good you generally have to give up something good on this setting. Stick with it, because for me its far closer to reality than Average is. My settings are LOW/HARD/NEUTRAL, AI Eval settings 40-30-20-10. |

Oh man I've struggled with the AVG too easy/HARD too hard thing too. And tried all kinds of AI Evaluation kung fu. It's just that the settings, no matter how they're set, are AI. There is no realistic AI in 2014. The way I just do it is study the rosters carefully, pretending I'm the manager of the other team, and if I wouldn't do my trade, I don't do my trade.

Man, PSU, when are you going to get that screen thing under control? You're forcing me to use mental pilates, stretching to take it all in!

You've done it the way you've always done it? What is that? Print Screen, paste to Paint or something, Save file, etc.... ? It's just odd.
Have you tried just using the Snipping Tool? Use PC, right? Windows 7?

Do you use Imageshack? There's a way to select which size you want to link to using IS.
