LOVE the game, but like anyone have a quibble or two. One is that the AI seems to lack big-picture awareness. I've attached one example. I'd like a catcher. Atlanta has 3. One is among the best (and best-paid) in the league. Right behind him is a 24-year-old amazing product who is ML ready. And behind him is another 24-year-old who is ready to be a solid starter. Atlanta refuses to trade any one of them. This offer pictured is for the third stringer who will get <100 at bats this year. I'm offering a solid starting pitcher plus a first round pick. They respond that the only way to complete the trade is for me to throw in a AAA pitcher who is currently the #1 rated prospect in baseball.
I have no idea how to implement it, but the AI seems to always be unaware that while a player may have potential value, their value to the team that owns them may be minimal. (Atlanta's all-star catcher is signed for four more years, and they are not willing to trade him either.) I see so many talented players waste their careers as backups on teams that have legitimate needs (even if it's just building their farm systems). Anyway, if this could ever be fixed it would make me even happier with the game.
