For me, the most noticable issue with the AI (or at least the CPU to CPU trade algorithms) has been the weird need for the team that is dealing the rental player at the deadline to also include a top prospect in the deal.

I see a ton of deals that are

high priced veteran (but decent player) rental + top 100 prospect for average young player.

I'm not clear why the CPU always includes a prospect who is objectively better than the one they are receiving in exchange for the veteran. It's very odd to me and it is constant.

Like just remove that part of the equation? vet for decent prospect at the deadline, done deal. Why is there some need to add a huge prospect haul to the vet only making a few months salary on an expiring deal at the deadline? It never made sense to me.

Otherwise, I think most of the stuff I see makes quite a bit of sense and immersion works well at least for my setup. YMMV, etc.

Edit: I also see CPU to CPU trades happen that would have never happened if I proposed them, likely because trading difficulty is high? I'm fine with that since it levels the playing field a bit if I'm not able to get those kinds of deals but still the CPU dealing a 4 star prospect to itself for an average, overpriced reliever when I couldn't even get the 40th man on the roster for this type of player, kind of seems weird as well.
