That's exactly right. If there is an exploit to win your games, the AI will eventually find it. Then players will complain that the AI found a way to lock up all of the catchers in the league or something and so the player has to run a LF in the catcher slot every night.Or something.

So then the devs have to fix the exploit that the AI is abusing, and then spent tons of money for server time to regenerate the AI on the updated code, only to have it find the next exploit.

A game as complex as OOTP could literally take many years to find and close every possible exploit. It's not a viable business model.
