Trading Improved at all?

Just curious if trading has improved. I realize how hard it could be to get things to work right, but this is like a forever issue to get close to realistic.

Case in point playing 25, offering Guerrero JR. one on one and I get offered back, 35+ yr olds or a bit younger and suck. If I do multi player package, I get offer 3 or 4 players and mostly in big leagues as bench warmers and little potential. If I want multi prospects, best I get offered is 150th best ranked player to 200th ranked, the reason for the range, trading difficulty, hardest to lowest.

Numerous other trades I try, just suck as well. I eventually signed Jr to 8 yr, 28 million a year contract (I have top player set to 20 million in settings, one of the few settings I change from default). I try to trade him with that great contract, and the same offers. Sigh!

Like come on, please, why can this not get better than 10 or more years ago, I don't even buy OOTP every year now, because its basically the same game each year. AND don't take it the wrong way, I love it, I play one pitch mode and full control of the team. But it seems the things I want better, never improve much, financials seem stuck as well forever. I went 2.5 years between getting 25 (got it at discount end of season), could be 27 or 28 before I get the next one. I watched the videos, I don't see much difference, I get minor imrpovements. I get it, only so much to improve each year once you have the basics down. Been playing it since it came out, was playing PureSim baseball back in the day as well too. Of course not as much as I do now, since I am retired for 4 years now and a lot more free time.

Still no play by play, even if user has to do recordings of play by play!, why can we not have this!!!

Anyways, I am getting off track
