AI Setting - Evaulations

With regard to AI evaluations: What percentages are suggested for the weight given to rating / current yr stats / prior yr stats?

What I'm looking for, is the AI to generally play the player who will likely perform the best presently (which I assume is based on ratings).

Meaning: Just bc a great player is slumping and his stats are down to start a season, I dont want the AI benching him/hitting him down in the order (based on small smaple sizes) when his "ratings" state otherwise.

However and with that said, a question I have: with Scouting "ON" - Does the AI receive "incorrect scouting reports" like a human player does? Or does the AI always "know" the true ratings? If the AI DOES receive inaccurate information from a scout, then stats are somewhat important.

Thoughts on this? What percentages have you found that work best for the AI to play/acquire the best players on a consistent level? Does this also work well in the off-season with AI Free Agent negotiations?

Can you explain your reasoning?

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to reply.

I don't know exactly what they are, but there are benchmarks (in PA/IP, I think) a player has to meet before the game switches the "current year" percentage into the season you're actually playing, so that a small sample size slump doesn't get a star benched.

I can't swear to it, but I do think the AI knows the "true" ratings based on the percentages set. Seems a big advantage, but the AI still isn't as smart as a human player so it's not so bad, IMO.
