Now the Cowboys are killing me in the league. They are currently on a 10 game streak which included sweeping me Its bad enough losing out on promotion to a human team with a significantly lower rating. But if I finish out the year with a .650 win percentage and that dang bot prevents my promotion... Dang bots! LOL Updated Wednesday, February 11 2015 @ 3:43:56 pm PST

When the game started, there weren't a lot of human opponents so I wanted the games to still be interesting. 2. Baseball is a game of statistics. If bots were so weak that they'd be losing 35-0 every game, the player statistics would be totally skewed. Steve

Still aggravating when they are kicking your butt though Especially when the players on the bots team don't look any good. They all just seem to be performing way above where they should. Makes me the think the bot is a way better manager than me. Processor envy. Updated Wednesday, February 11 2015 @ 5:05:23 pm PST
