Nearly every sports sim game (including console games) has a offensive AI focus and they always will. Because the AI isn't trying to stop points from being scored. It's trying to score one more point then it's opponent. The AI has to take way more into account when making moves then a human player does because the AI has to always try and remain competitive both offensive and defensively at all times.
A human player says "ok I can bring in my better defensive guy because I'm up by three" and he wins the game he says "I'm a genius my decision was right" but if it happens with the AI and then a pitcher blows up and they wind up losing the game the human player says the AI should have never made that move in the first place. The AI always is bound to take everything into consideration in player moves because the ultimate goal of the AI is to win.

The AI's number one goal should be to model real MLB baseball, not win, in my opinion. If it was always trying to win then it should be sac bunting a whole lot less. Instead it makes sense to see the sac bunting to some extent because real life managers still overuse the strategy.
