Woe be any team with out a manual draft order. That includes teams with human GMs.
As for non user run teams, there's much improvement for the player weights used that cause AI teams to draft poorly.
For non-user teams, fix the former, fix the latter.
AI teams drafting by the highest trade score based on poor default player weights does not solve the matter. I'd wager it would only make the issue much worse, as the current game engine uses a player rating defined by the current default player weights.
Back to the front (always a Metallica ref), Ai teams are doing exactly as they have been told, as it's been said (coded), when they pick (when they are told to).
Completely valid post. Great topic. I hope i helped you gain some info. Right track, wrong cause.
I hope i didn't discourage your pursuit of fixing AI draft pix. It certainly needs to be a priority in the new engine.
Setherick has been beating this subject until he just could not beat it anymore since i joined way back in 2018, and is the go-to guru about the concern.
