Just played a bot team, and on at least 2 occasions when they were 4th down on my 22 they punted. . . I get the sense that the bots are there to be beat up on, but that seems either to be a bug, or a pretty soft bit of playbook design. Hope this is the right forum to flag this. Best regards.

I Think Bots try only FG on less than 20 yards from FG...

Wow. Okay, well I am a new kid on the block here but that feels pretty soft to me. In fact there were 2 more punts inside my 30 yard line, so potentially they gave up on 12 points which would have had an effect, even though it wouldn't have changed the outcome (I won 24-0).

Anyway, thanks for letting me know.

You'll see than in 1 or 2 weeks, BOT won't be an issue for you anymore. So it's not very important. You'll gonna beat them very easily

And by the way, you'll see also many human teams punting on your own 5!!! (ands you'll be sometimes thankful for this!)

Bots are using very restricted "playbooks", and only a limited 4-3-4 defense.

Hmm. . . just had another game with a really poor opposition decision.

Since I've been told this is 'programmed' it is SUCH an easy thing to change in the bot playbook I really think it needs a change. . .

12:32 Scotty Kenyon (P) punts the ball from opp 18 for 26, this is a touchback

. . . so pleasedo change it - otherwise the bot games will become meaningless - making being a rookie coach in a first season largely populated by bots, largely meaningless. . .

exactly 1 yard less and it would be a fieldgoal try for the bot. I see no problem in raising this to maybe 45...the question is, can I do that midseason?

Oh, for me there is no urgency of action - it can wait until season's end - I'm just delighted that you think it appropriate to do. Cheers.
