Awesome new feature - Team Needs

So I was messing around with the Team Needs thing(which is really cool btw) and like a week later i got an email from another GM asking if I was interested in a player that fit the criteria i posted. So cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like it, the only thing that bothers me is that it seems like the AI will not offer you any trades if you don't put something on your team needs list.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but when I leave my team needs list empty, I get absolutely zero AI trade offers

You may have nothing anyone wants. This does happen on occasion.

I understand that, Iv'e been playing the game for years. I only say this because Iv'e done many different test sims so far.

Modern, historical and fictional. In each sim, if I don't have something on my teams needs list, I don't get offers. Could just be a huge coincidence and nothing is wrong, or, it could be because there's nothing on the team needs list.

If someone could confirm that they've received trade offers with nothing on their team needs list, i'll just chalk it up to coincidence.

You will get offers like normal if you have no needs specified. They're not common, but should be about the same as past years (give or take the changes to trade AI that we made)

Still have a couple of days. FWIW, post your concern in the bug forum if you haven't already. We'll check it out. Didn't mean to sound dismissive. You may be on to something, so follow the yellow brick road, list it, and we'll have a look. Thanks.

Edit: Or just trust Matt. He's the powerful man behind the curtain. On to the next. Good luck!

Hmmm, thanks guys. I'll chalk it up to coincidence then lol. I'll run a few more new game sims and see if I get any offers. If not, even after more testing i'll throw it in the bugs forum!

Manager and GM actions -> Make a Trade -> Team Needs

I haven't seen anyone actually offer me a workable trade from it, I just get emails saying "are you interested in this guy?" It's like player search, but you only get one random result every week.

Go to Rosters and Transactions, then Trade Status, then to the right a box will appear that says "Define Team Needs".

He was right!

I've gtten both the "do you like this guy?" And also the usual actual crappy offers.

Another nice thing with the new feature- if you she a guy and get a let of offers it sorts the guys who match you needs on to them list team by team

My question is, at beginning of season it gives a run-down of the team and it's position weaknesses. Is there a place to look at this again once the season starts? I've looked and looked and haven't found it (but probably looking in wrong places
Thanks.

Click your team name at the top > Team Home Screen > Meet The Team sub-tab. Is that the one you mean?

No, the one I'm referring to is like a paragraph that mentions positions and they are even color coded when mentioning how bad that particular position is for your team.

Thanks tho'.
