In my experience, no game of this kind has ever been challenging enough to the point where I could go full-out in competing against the AI and not thoroughly and unreaslistically dominate it. I have always had to restrict myself in some way.

You're obviously just a better game player than me then. I've been challenged by many games, yes including BBMogul, 2005 version I believe; running a franchise as the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. I eventually succeeded in getting a WS championship, but it took about 7-8 seasons. Realistic game? No, I didn't say that. Challenging? Yes.
Also Madden 2005 had good AI from the drafting and trading side. I felt the on-the-field gameplay sucked.
But many people, including myself, just played the game for the GM side of it and simmed the actual games.

And no game has ever been fully rid of AI issues/ bugs/exploits. I don't expect that will ever change during my lifetime, either.

I think you just have low expectations. See if actively pursued, and worked upon, OOTP could in fact have zero AI issues/bugs/exploits. That is in fact why I'm even bothering posting on this thread. I'm not even a game owner, but could envison being one as OOTP is very good in many ways. Unfortunately, the few issues I've found have all been in areas like this that detract from my own personal enjoyment of the game.
The attitude that it's not possible and the negative tone in your posts is a defeatist stance and in fact can become self-fullfiling. If one believes its not possible, then it in fact is not possible. Strive for more, you might be plesantly surprised someday. Not without an obvious adjustment in disposition though.
Enough said, you obviously will disagree with my post once again and vice-versa. SO there is no need for us to continue banging our collective heads against the wall.
