i look at the big picture. on a micro level too much goes on that it'd take a real long time to sim a lot of years if i'm following the careers of individual players not on my team to look out for quirks. on any given season in real life a lot of crap goes on, sometimes behind the scenes, that add to the oddity of the game. if a 40 something year old player who still had great power and an excellent eye/avoid K ability were to be unsigned in baseball all the while not asking for a big contract you'd say the AI was faulty. i guess Barry Bonds should take comfort then. in no other era would a player with Bonds' abilities (even despite his age) be not signed this late into the season. heck, even Hank Aaron still went on to play a few more season after breaking the HR record.
don't look at things on the micro level. if you did the same thing to FOF you'd find one hell of a faulty game, but not even that game gets half as much grief around here.
