I don't believe they are reflected in the coach's recommended weights.
For example, when the change was made to significantly increase the importance of max speed for the OL, this new importance was not reflected in the recommended weights.
Which leads me to believe it wasn't reflected in the default weights.
Which leads me to believe it wasn't reflected in the "trade value" for these players.
Basically, I have seen no evidence to suggest the Ai evaluates players differently now than it did in 2014, other than it seems to now take age into consideration when calculating trade value, and doesn't calculate as high of a trade value for punters/kickers as it used to.
Everything else seems the same.
