Agree completely, I think this is the only solution. I really enjoyed 5.00, 5.01 was worse, 5.10 is not playable to me as a solo game. On the other hand, a loooot of people were complaining about the trading AI in 5.00, saying it made the game unplayable to them. For more experienced players, the #1 problem with OOTP seems to be that it's just too easy to build a team that wins 100 games every year, even with small market size, house rules, etc. But tighten things up too much and you make it less fun for the less experienced players. A trade AI difficulty level is the only answer that I can see.

As another specific example of silly 5.10 trades, the computer was willing to give me the #1 prospect in the league, 5 blue stars, with 5's and 6's for ratings, for a 3.5 blue star MR.
