Its possible. I also think higher trade difficulty is idiot proof so the AI probably blocked such a trade not to mention the AI may see the players differently then you if scouting is on.



If people are able to make trades on very hard then trading is not broken. Its ok to lower the difficulty...

I agree that the hardest setting is limiting the human to few trades (AI is more willing to trade during the offseason and near the deadline, impossible to take young players away from rebuilding teams, etc) which doesn't make it unrealistic as a human will likely attempt to trade more frequently than the AI and with a setting like average you are able to trade free will ripping off the AI. A common strategy I see on forums and youtube using default settings is buy low sell high, take the other team's prospects and flip them for players who can perform now while making the playoffs 90% of the time. Its too easy to have a competing team while building a top farm system on any trade difficulty other than hard.
