The OOTP Trade Process

[@zucklevin4717]

Hey sarge, may have missed it in this video, but what do i do when no team offers a trade with 100% retained

[@MalcolmThornton]

Would love to see a video on the player strategy settings. Why, and when to set them to help maximize your teams capabilities.

[@sgtmushroom]

I will make that immediately and have it done by the end of the day

[@MalcolmThornton]

@@sgtmushroom I've just never seen one yet. I understand how to set steals, butting etc, but what I've love to see if someone could explain how to set the pitching sliders for infield and outfielder defence settings. If I have a EX GB pitcher and a good SS and 2B, do you set the infield in or out for that pitcher? What about an EX FB pitcher, how do you set then. If you Outfielders in LF and RF have less range, do you set your defence a little differently. I understand that the sliders can make a huge difference, but where to set them is not really explained anywhere. Just thought It would be very helpful, and you do a lot of great instructional stuff and I believe are a regular in perfect league.

@@MalcolmThornton Video is up. I am not a regular in perfect team, but I am one of the more competitive PT players (I usually compete later in the cycle as a FTP player so I can build funds)

[@007Hutchings]

The parts I could hear of your video sounded great thanks for the tips :)

[@BitterBucolic1]

Is it better to make trades after Free Agency Filing? What time of year is best for making trades?

Hey Sgt, Mushroom, what is your trading difficulty on OOTP 22? Have you found it slightly more difficult to trade with the AI?

[@sgtmushroom]

I go between 5 and 10 depending on the circumstances. Trading is harder, but there are still bargains to be found.

[@DododudeDM]

Still loving all the vids. Was wondering how much different this would be if it were in a Fictional League or 15 years in the future when you don't know much about the players around the league or their current financial situations...

[@sgtmushroom]

It's the same process. You're more worried about ratings than anything else. You can look at their contracts. You can actually sort by contracts on each team's trade page and find high paid players that the teams undervalue. You can also shop guys around and identify players that come up as lower value than they should.

[@SDFan4Life]

What trade difficulty do you usually play on? I can't decide which setting is most realistic

[@sgtmushroom]

7-8. Not super easy but not impossible either.

[@SDFan4Life]

@@sgtmushroom how about favor prospects or vets?
