Re: ***The Official OOTP Thread***
If I recall everything was set to default, but I don't remember what that was for OOTP18.
Have to disagree with you guys on this one as the logic doesn't fly when you take MLB out of the name. Certainly none of us are in the GM rooms to see some of the crazy offers, but apply the logic to real life. If you have a car with $18k. You might put it up for sale asking $20k seeing if anyone bites. If someone comes in and offers you $10k are you going to waste your time negotiating with them (real life example)? You always low ball in your initial offer, but if you go too far then you just don't get taken seriously. Now, if that same person were to have instead offered $15k then yeah you might continue talking because there is room for common ground as they are just 25% below your asking price and within 20% of what the car is worth.
I guess my point is that in order to have a negotiation the original offer needs to at least have a foundation. If you get some bogus offer for one of your players then why continue talking about that player? You're starting from scratch so really you're just trading for the sake of trading which I don't think is very realistic unless you were actively looking to get rid of that player.
Only have about an hour with OOTP19 so far, but in my short sample size I'm finding the trade logic to be better.. I used someone recommended evaluation setting I found (50/30/15/5), and neutral for prospects/mlb players. Still not easy to put the finishing touches on a deal, but it does feel better so far.

I'd also add that we never hear about the offers that GMs laugh off due to being unfair. We only hear about the ones that go through. I bet there are lots of instances where a GM initially proposes something and the other GM laughs his *** off. Then, maybe they start to negotiate.
Think of that initial offer from the cpu as a starting point. Actually, the trade I made for Jarrod Dyson and posted in the Franchise thread a couple of days ago is a good illustration of how the final deal can look a lot different than the initial offer. It went from me taking on salary and losing a prospect to me gaining cash and not losing a prospect.
EDIT: My settings were on difficult (so 2nd hardest level) and favor prospects (2nd most slanted level toward prospects).
