Personally I think another problem is that fringe and non-players stick around for far too long before they retire. These are the guys you see at like 29, 30, 31 and older accepting minor league contracts even though they have no hope, and never had any, of playing in the majors.

For the most part these players don't exist in reality because they have families to feed and minor league contracts don't pay well. Since nothing like that is modeled in OOTP you end up with huge numbers of these free agents taking up spots on minor league rosters that should go to more promising players and prospects.

I agree the AI factors largely too but I just didn't have much to add which hasn't been said.

Note to self: Princess Kenny was really off-putting.
