Godlike AI, historical minor leagues, even 3D stadiums and animated ballplayers, these are all ITEMS FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, not issues. The game continues to grow, but some people would have the developer stop growing it and rewrite the program from scratch?
I'm done talking here; I've said enough. I will not stand for nonsense, however.

Godlike AI.... nice re-frame.
If you think having AI simply work well enough to use EXISTING features is Godlike and something FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, then we'll just have to agree to disagree. Because what good is a feature like the Option years if when it is on the player gains an advantage by having multiple opportunities to fleece good to even great players from waivers because the AI didn't plan/handle it's roster management well enough and ran out of options for players? And the same is true with the Rule 5 draft, where once again the human player can find talent to scoop up that wouldn't be there if the AI worked better. And the same is true with existing features like player personality and morale, where again the human gains an advantage by utilizing existing features. Taken alone, each of these advantages wouldn't be much. Turn them all on, and I have yet to fail to turn even the worst of teams into World Series contenders/winners in less than five years. If that were realistic we wouldn't have teams like the Cubs go over 100 years without winning a title and many teams who have yet to even make it to the World Series.
Asking for AI to work well enough to handle ALREADY EXISTING features is asking for Godlike AI though, huh?
Fine, offense taken as it's clear that was the goal... belittling those of us that harp on the inadequacies of the AI.
Have a good day and weekend.
