I started a franchise with my Blue Jays from their opening year of 1977 and I am only in 1983 and have already built a dynasty. I was able to seemingly fleece the AI on a few trades with the trade difficulty of Medium (have no switched it to hard) and have been able to pick up some of the best players in the game in the Rule 5 Draft (maybe I should avoid using the rule 5 draft all together as it seems the AI leaves some really great players there and furthermore, teams are not drafting them in the Rule 5 draft). These are 2 of the main reasons why in my first 6 years of the Blue Jays, I have made the World Series 4 times, won it 3 times and made the playoffs 5 consecutive years.

I was talkign to someone in the forums before and he had mentioned making some house rules when playing so the AI isn't completely beatable, well if the Rule 5 draft is not something that is going to get fixed through a patch or can be fixed through some setting changes in the game, I am going to have to assume that is a house rule for alot of people (not selecting anyone over 2 stars in the rule 5 draft or something like that for example). I picked up the AL Batting title winner of the last 2 years in the Rule 5 draft and the Cy Young winner of last year (pretty unfair).

I hope a patch comes to fix the rule 5 draft so this is not so easily abused, but otherwise I think I should just stop using it. Thoughts?
