Perhaps with the new AI advancements sports game AI can "learn" to make better evaluations and trades in real time? IDK. Probably more likely if AI becomes that good the computer will trade less than it does now on the hardest mode in OOTP  |
Apologies for coming into this discussion late, and I'm guessing that this point has already been made.
The thing is, though, that the "I traded X for Y lol" posts tend to miss the point that real life general managers also make lousy trades, and have done so historically.
That said, I would love to see a system in which trades and deals are built up over time rather than being a one-and-done deal. I think you could construct something like that using an AI model. I'd love to see that in Football Manager as well, where you've got the same problem (and where it is surprisingly easy to sign 200+ young players with great talent without spending much money).
It's not perfect, but OOTP's AI trading system and logic is far and beyond the best out of all baseball sims. We shouldn't forget that.
