Reduce AI Trading

In running Computer run teams, where is the option to reduce the frequency of computer to computer trades?

AI options, I believe.

I know it's not the question at hand, but just a suggestion and something I've found helps, and others may find helpful... (It works for the type of "realism" or feel I am looking for, or gives me my best results, at least)

I keep it on Low or Very Low. And nearing the trade deadline or week leading up, I raise it to the option above Low, I believe. In the off-season, I think I tweak it a bit more and also tweak it depending on the strength of the FA class etc.

I find Low is a solid setting, but I've seen some random trades that I've wanted to and sometimes have decided to reverse, as they were simply inexplicable in my mind. I understand that it won't be perfect, but it gives me solid results and it cut back on the blockbuster deals that were ridiculous.

ALSO--just JSYK--my rig simply isn't good enough to handle that much use nor do I have the time, currently, or I would likely be able to alter other settings and handle more than 1 team for my offline league etc. etc.... I know I could control trading a lot easier--this is a suggestion for those who are playing their franchise--at least at the moment (believe me, I wish my computer wasn't outdated and I could run every time or I wasn't so busy lately, but if I try to do too much it will crash on me on a whim and I don't control all teams manually because of time restraints)--a little bit more relaxed and on their own but still want realism and don't feel like seeing Mike Trout* dealt, or some rubbish.

*I put that next to him because that is one example from a file I had been running and I reversed that trade. However, I believe under strategy or somewhere in there, you can mark players as untouchable and such. I simply don't have time to weed through all of that so I wanted to suggest this in hopes it helps someone else who is frustrated with really weird deals popping up even on the low or very low settings...

Cheers... hope this helps somebody out. This is about my only gripe at all with OOTP and it isn't even a big one, but I try to give people suggestions as others I've known with less time on their hands (I think I'm the only one with a laptop from 15yrs ago...) have had this problem too.
