Benchwarmer Joined: 01/06/2015 Posts: 445 Inactive | The problem with that is I could see it making the free agent market thinner than it already is. Any players that might have slipped through waivers that might be worth something would be potentially picked up by bots, leaving the dregs of the dregs for us humans to pick over and discard. | ||

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9571 Haverhill Halflings III.1 | I think its working fine. Not every player in the game needs to max out. What about all those guys sitting in FA right now? How are we going to save them? Some of them are actually good players that should be starters over half the guys currently I]on LL VI rosters. Updated Tuesday, September 8 2015 @ 7:30:13 pm PDT |

newtman Joined: 11/02/2013 Posts: 3343 Inactive | Some of them are actually good players that should be starters over half the guys currently I]on LL VI rosters. This is true, I've looked at several LL VI teams which really would be better off cutting 3/4 of their roster and replacing them with free agents, not even guys on waivers. Those guys have a chance to be half way decent players, while some guys on rosters really never should have been drafted. |

Endrju Joined: 05/28/2015 Posts: 577 Inactive | No, it's not new. I've seen bots in my league pick up free agents last year. But their quality was similar to the one you linked | ||

admin Joined: 01/27/2010 Posts: 4981 Administrator | Bots will draft new players and pick up free agents. The algorithm for picking free agents is rather crude, so they're not a smart about it compared to a human owner. BTW, they do NOT put in waiver claims though. Steve |
