It''s a slight quandary....
It's not that realistic to just go down your roster hitting square until you get a hit....but you should have some idea of what the other team wants.
I would say...without the bar...or at least to have the option to shut off the bar...and add in the opposing GM responding to your FAIR offer(which I think shutting off the bar would force you to do...make a fair offer) with a "well it's not quite enough...we're looking for..."a good young pitcher with a future(an A/B rated SP)"...."a MLB ready SS"...."a vet with a big bat off the bench"..."a better package of prospect"...etc...would be better than just the plain bar IMO.

Agreed ten fold on this. This would definitely be more dynamic and add more realism and strategy to it.

I would love the option to turn off the bar! And the other GM's response to your offer with what they are looking for would be great too! I know in NHL 11 if you offer a trade and the other team is almost ready to pull the trigger there is a response from the other GM of "we're close here, give me a couple days to come up with a counter offer". That would be a nice addition.

One other thing I would like to see regarding trades is to not have the player you just got be available instantly. They should take into consideration where the other team is playing and how long it would take for that player to arrive to where your playing. OR at least one game calendar day

Well that is a completely different system than what is in place now. I don't see how it would be possible for 2011 to have it. Maybe for 2012. I don't know how 2k does it but they can't just take the interest bar out without rewriting a new kind of system.

Actually 10 had it for awhile. If you had instant trades off, the interest bar was "disabled." After one of the patches it was back on.

Russel, can you tell me if Play Potential has been improved with Superstars/Big time players? Like end of last year Adrian Gonzalez, Miguel Cabrera, and others all had C or B Potential, and it was really hurting my franchises. Can you tell me if it's been improved/fixed?

The potential problem is no more

I haven't really posted much in here up to this point, mostly just follow along any news that comes out but this thread has pretty much forced me to. I just wanted to send a huge thank you to the devs that work on this game. The Show guys and the EA NHL guys have been in a class all their own for years now (Madden team stepped up this year, in all fairness) when it comes to listening to their community, implementing the community's ideas and then post-release support for their product.

I know I'm not alone when I say I bought a PS3 just for this game. Many on here have. And I don't regret it for a second, even when I think about how much I spent back in '07 on a PS3 lol. It's been worth it and then some. Keep up the good work guys. I look forward to yet another masterpiece in March.
