How's the trading AI?
Baseball Mogul's was **** in the olden days, but it's gotten fairly reasonable.
It's quite good.
What's kind of cool as well is that players have ratings for their mood which can affect the team and trade conditions. It can affect their willingness to take an early contract extension. Playing time can affect their mood as can salaries and benefits.
The financial model within OOTP is probably the most detailed and dynamic I've ever seen.
You can snag a pitcher who gets a base salary of $1,500,000 per year for a 5 year deal and then structure the incentive packages for things like 100 K's in a season gets you another $500,000 and winning the Cy Young is another $250,000 and so on for various longevity/health and stat categories. Ultimately, building you a lot of salary / compensation flexibility into the FA negotiation market. It's a lot of fun to play with it.
