I'm liking the heavier weight on stats. One thing I noticed in my universe is a return of some older players from over seas. I had about a few vets leave the MLB for Japan a couple seasons ago since they were no longer the superstars that they once were. After adjusting the AI to rely more on stats (I'll have to look but I think I'm at 45 for ratings, 35 current 15 last, 5 2 years ago), I'm seeing a handful of these vets return from Japan and get contracts from MLB teams and contribute. yeah, they aren't the superstars they once were, nor are they even all stars...but they still make the highlight reel and get Player of the Week awards every now and then. Its good to see the AI bring them back. I haven't found that sweet spot yet though...I think I may flip flop ratings and current year and see how the AI plays...but I do think the AI is smarter when stats are weighed more heavily.
