Adding this would make the AI extremely competitive with a human GM in historical games. But sadly this has never made it into the game as far as I know.
This is one of the reasons why I eventually started playing fictional historicals. Without some kind of house rules, historical games become too easy.

Playing with historical rookies on a team that didn't draft any superstars for several decades and limiting spending to just a bit more than average is a great equalizer.
