The trading AI going off of stats more than ratings might create a big problem. I would need to o a little testing to see, but my gut tells me this type of approach requires a ratings heavy AI evaluation.

Does this impact AI trades with each other? I know trade difficulty doesn't but the Favor Prospects slider?
I turned it up and I'm seeing more 20-30 POT prospects for 45-55 established players that aren't older or on high contracts. Well, some are but I don't mind the salary dump deals. It's the trading a 55 rated, 28 year old with a 5 million contract for a 25 POT prospect.
This is with ratings now 55% of the evaluation.
So I'm wondering if this is causing the AI teams to value that 25 POT prospect too much because they all "favor" prospects. So prospects become more valuable and non-prospects (the "players" and "veteran" classes) less so.
Sure their scouts might be off, but on High scouting accuracy, I highly doubt any scout will rate a 55 major league level player as similar to a 25 POT prospect.
