It seem like I am in a league currently filled with bots.
If so, how are the players in the bots team?
How will the setup be?
Me as many others also played hattrick and in there the bots are easy to beat.
So all human players will eventually be in leagues where more humans are occupying the spots.
So will the positions at a bot team be randomly placed?
e.g. a center being set as a point guard and not necessarilay the strongest team will be selected?

Thank you for your answer or feedback!

Ok thanks you have answered the most important one! They are harder to beat than in HT.

But do the bot players gain in skills and get training?

Because then they would be monstrous high skilled sooner or later?

I think the basic offenses and defenses in BB are more competitive than the basic 4-4-2 formation in HT which seems to be lacking in the midfield. Hence the bots aren't at such a competitive disadvantage.

Also, the bots have decent youngish players like we all start with, and the coaching of the game engine is going to put the players in their best positions, so they won't be horrible.

I'm used to the easy games against HT bots, though they get old quickly. I like the fact that the games against bots here aren't painfully one-sided.

in regards to the question about training. I am pretty sure bots train form and no other skills. Which means they only keep their practice this week as high as they can.

So the younger theirs players are does not make the team better.

When I mentioned that they were youngish, I meant that as opposed to being old, like the players on many bot teams in HT are. (Of course, the bot teams I've played in HT have been around a long time, so the players just sit there and age.)

I have assumed that the players on bot teams weren't training up any skills.
