See, while solutions like this work for a lot of people, I can't use them. I like to be the one making the decisions. I don't want the AI signing players. It takes away so much of the personal touch.

I constantly struggle with the game being too easy in some respects, because I don't like using house rules or having to force things to make them more challenging. As it is, I often find myself taking on a secondary team that I will build up and make difficult to beat just so that I have a worthy opponent.

Playing with talent only is a good option, but for some reason I don't seem to enjoy the game as much without the ratings - it's like I don't know the players as well.

I'm sure the AI will improve in the future, but I doubt it will ever be as good as a human, at least not until it develops the ability to learn from its mistakes, which is many years away I'm sure.
