The reason they have it that way is because they want you to recruit human players to your team, since that will provide a human-owned team for other human players who will continue to spend Flex Points on boosting and maintaining their dots.

So, no, they're not "biased towards CPUs over humans." They're biased towards human dots over CPU dots.

Think about it... if it were possible for a human to buy a team and be competitive with 55 CPU dots, what would be the point in anyone spending Flex to make dots? Nobody would bother... everyone would just play with teams full of CPU dots, and Bort's income would plummet.

When the human teams lose to the CPU teams it kind of throws this all out the window.

The human teams and CPU teams all have about the same roster set up. Only difference is the owners. The human owned teams have 1-2 wins and are at the bottom of the standings. I recruited the best and most complete roster in the conference and am penalized for it to the point where there is no point trying. A play for the CPU team goes for 15 yards a pop where the same play against the same defense for the human owned teams is a 1.5 yard game. What is the point of human ownership? Why would anyone want to join a human team at all?

I had the same issues as a team owner, and pretty much why I gave up being a team owner. I even PM'd support asking them why I can compete - fairly evenly - with a particular human owned team, and then lose to the same CPU team that they destroyed 175 - 0. They could offer no explanation.

I always thought that there was some 'trick' to killing CPU teams. Just another little glitch in the game that I wasn't privy to. Let me know if you get your money back because I will be next in line.

Anyone who loses to a CPU is doing it all wrong. I have never in the history of GLB owned or coordinated for a team that has lost to a CPU team.

Gutted 0 care teams with all CPU dots notwithstanding.

are you ever not angry, osiris?

This.

Osiris, which team is your team, and which teams are the teams you mentioned in the OP?

Enlighten me. I don't think you understand. I have a team with like 12 human dots. When I play other teams with just a few human dots I can beat the human owned teams. The CPU owned teams with the same roster make up give me a huge penalty. Their CPU players seem to be way boosted. The CPU and humans on my team seem normal but the CPU owned team's CPUs seem as fast, strong, and agile as my human players and way better than my CPUs. Hard hitting CPU LBs are beating my elusive back to the corner on the opposite side of the field for example. When playing a human owned team with the same defense I hit that corner and get a big gain.

Notice the other human owned teams are all at the bottom. My team was undefeated before they were human owned.

So, basically, you have a team with 14 human dots and 40 CPU dots.

As has been explained earlier in the thread, if a human-owned team has more than X CPU dots (I forget what X is... 15? 20?), then the CPU dots on that human-owned team are penalized -- because Bort wants you to field a roster of human dots, not CPU dots.

If a team is CPU-owned, the CPU dots on the CPU-owned team are not penalized -- because Bort listened to the cries of the people who wanted CPU teams to play stronger.

If you have a human-owned team and you want to make sure you can beat CPU-owned teams, you're just gonna have to recruit more than 14 human dots. No way around it. A squad with only 14 humans is capable of losing to ANYONE.

It seems they just don't want human owned teams. The only chance my team has is if I sell it and it once again becomes a CPU owned team. That is what they want. I recruited almost all I could find. The team's roster is way better than when i bought the team. I would prefer an all human team but it would be all QBs, RBs, and WRs. I really don't think my team is penalized, it's more the other team's CPUs are boosted by a lot.

I would think a human owned team playing dots in a way that fits their builds would be better for the game than a CPU owned team with Bort DCs and Bort plays. The only fair thing to do for the agents is to let team ownership go CPU again.

And if they are no human owned dots to recruit they should simply quit?
That is exactly what is happening to this game.
Well played GLB, Well played

I've been saying for some time that CPUs need to be closer to human owned dots at this stage in the game.

Okay, so it's not a huge deal, the world isn't coming to an end, but if I do it right and beat a human owned team and then do the same thing next game and lose to a CPU team, what am I doing wrong? And that is with a team with zero CPU players.

I swore to myself that this would never be a topic that I would ever discuss again. But the only response - having asked this myself a number of times - has always been the same answer; "I have never lost to a CPU team". WTF... So why are human owned teams with human built players losing to CPU teams, when they have clearly shown that they can beat human owned teams?

And if the response is " I have never lost to a CPU team" then do, please, explain... Or is that just they way it used to be?
