I agree with a lot of what you've said here, but I wanted to highlight this because it's a total copout. Yes, for the foreseeable future the in-game AI will always be less intelligent than a human. But the current in-game AI makes mistakes that a ******ed 8-year-old shouldn't be making. I could go on and on for days about this, since I play out all the games in my solo league, but here's my favorite example:
The AI, with the game tied in the bottom of the ninth, will get men on first and third, one out, and then bunt the runner from first to second. I have seen this happen maybe five times.
That kind of mistake is inexcusable. There are way, way, way, WAY too many examples of such "buggy thinking" that should be getting caught. Given the fact that attention to detail is not exactly OOTP's strong suit (to put it nicely), I'm not optimistic about this getting fixed. I'm even less optimistic when you say things like what you posted and give the game a pass on some truly wretched moves.
