I'd agree with omg_pwnasaurus, ie pretty good overall. I play slowly managing every inning of every game. Every day in my season I read the complete transaction report and review all trades. I see some "huh?" trades but most an argument can be made for it being viable for both teams. This is a broad stroke statement and not meant to say the game's trade AI is perfect. Exceptions can and always will be found. It's a computer game.

Also there's almost no trading before July, or in spring training, my frequency is set to average. How crazy does it get if I tick it up to high? Also are my AI eval settings right, or should I more remove some weight from ratings?

As I said I play slowly so not a lot of v26 data to look at. With that in mind I'll post what I am seeing and what I saw in v25. This is a game that I import from version to version, so the example is from the same save in v25 and v26.
v26: Offseason trades, Nov. to end of ST: 39. Not sure how it compares to real life but for OOTP I think one wants to look at offseason and not just ST.
v25: Offseason 43 trades.
Opening day to trade deadline, 56 trades. 50 of those trades made in July. That is 99 trades from start of offseason to the trade deadline in v25.
Comparing v25's 43 in the offseason to v26's 36 offseason trades would suggest that v26 trades are running at about the same rate in both versions of the game.
This is average frequency and default settings that lean towards hard and favor prospects. Not sure how many clicks that is but looks about 75% towards hard and 60% towards prospect on the setting line.
Evaluation? I use the 4-25's. IE 25/25/25/25. If you do a search you'll find the evaluation topic gets discussed in depth almost every year. I think this year is the first I haven't seen a thread about it.
Here's a link to last years discussion.
https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com/...ght=evaluation
In that thread there are links to previous year's threads on the topic. At the end of the day there are valid arguments for why individual users like the setting that they use. There is no wrong answer.
Afraid I can't help on how changing evaluation settings might impact your trading in either quality or amount. I've been using the 4-25's for a few versions now, I'm happy with the results, so have no experience in how making changes may or may not impact trading. Hopefully someone comes along that has tested this and can make some relevant comments.
