I start w/ 2016 rosters and expand. I manage the expansion process myself to make it realistic; 3 rounds, teams lose 1 player per round, then get to hold back 3 more players. I have to do this offline and then manually move the players when I am done.
My first issue is that the AI makes horrible protection decisions. I try to fix this by moving scouting to 100% accurate to take bad scouting out of the mix. Even then, I edit their lists to make sure they aren't protecting mediocre RPs over their starting SS, even when they are deeper in the pen than at short, or when they protect over-paid players who an expansion team would never take.
I think to do this right I need to change settings to 100% accurate scouting, and skew AI decision making to at least 80% ratings.....that would put the AI on the "very easy" setting and probably allow them to protect the right players. Then, before I draft, go back to lower accuracy and a blend of ratings / stats for evaluation.
I'm wondering if anyone has messed w/ this, or has any advice.

I don't like the idea of going to 100 percent accurate ratings, but I have often thought about going to accurate or very accurate scouting and then go from there. I would need to test different AI evaluation settings to see what feels right. The reason I say this is I don't feel scouts in baseball disagree about prospects as vastly as they do in OOTP...particularly top teir prospects. This allows for SOME fog of war, and players will still boom and bust anyway, regardless of ratings. What do you guys think?
