The AI makes trades, possibly the best trades possible based on the info it has at the time, based on the players stats at that point in time. How could it possibly base its decisions on what the player is going to be like in 2 years. Realism in a game is that you -don't- want the AI squatting on players that turn into HR monsters next year.
My biggest issue with any strategy game is that i dont want the AI to cheat, and be able to see into the future. I want a fair shot at the same stars that have not evolved yet.
Your only hope is that the AI has the same crystal ball you have, and hoards players with a .150 batting average because it KNOWS in 2 years that player will dominate the league for years to come.
Im sorry, but i find this beef with the program silly when there are so many other little things wrong with it.
