Bots get weaker, plus a batch of quick fixes

FEATURECHANGEFIX

A mix of balance changes and small fixes landed over the past couple of days — including one long-overdue correction to how bot teams were growing.

Bot teams weakened

  • CHANGE — Bot teams got significantly weakened: -10 to all skills, and their experience has been zeroed and frozen going forward — bots will no longer gain experience. We'd missed that bots playing 48 minutes a game, for far longer than most human-managed teams, had quietly built up a large experience advantage over time
  • New bot teams added in future tiers will also be seeded -10 weaker
  • Human teams aren't affected, including those with idle managers
  • ⚠️ Note: -10 to all skills gives a real edge against bots in our benchmarks, but it won't guarantee a 100% win rate

Quick changes

  • FEATURE — New team training summary on the Training page, showing skill pops/drops per week
  • CHANGE — Onboarding is now enabled for newcomers
  • FIX — Weekly training reports no longer include players who've left the team
  • FIX — Fixed bot team trophies incorrectly appearing in History and on the Club page — reported by @Fetz

Keep delivering ideas, and together we can build the best online basketball manager ever.
