I'm still having fun with it. I just avoid looking at the transaction wire and go out of the way to make sure I don't take advantage of this shortcoming. In fact, I've been going in the direction of trade self-immolation to try and level things out.

In v6.5, there is a setting in the team info screen where a team's focus is either "win now," "neutral," or "rebuild." For CPU teams these options are appropriately selected based on what the team should probably be doing, and this setting impacts where the CPU will be trying to trade prospects for vets or vice versa (it also impacts things like re-signing veterans, etc.)
