I don't know much about A.I. run teams...I'm in 4 leagues....3 are full and 1 has 4 open teams so I don't remember the last time I played the A.I.

IMO

I went to Big Data and read Pernbronze's comment and I think you are over-reacting because your upset....it comes off as a joke to me but I know you are sensitive when you feel like someone is laughing at you and I honestly don't think that was his intent. I could be wrong but I wouldn't ha e reacted that way to it....I would have said this:

I know right....lol

Half of Big Data is A.I. so maybe JDB has been working on the A.I.

My theory is that it was a nearly completely full league that vacated to AI.

It has kept the previous GM owned game plans left behind. Multiple times I've caught the d-play alignment working to what only a GM could do, not AI, which tiers a certain and operates in a certain way. (pairings to o-sets)

I -think- in this one league AI has been enhanced. I 100% know that's true.

I was blowing off steam (venting for energy) but I do think it's unfair for real people to do 19 game plans and for an AI team to get the only bye in the conference and the 1-game mental break.

Like I said....haven't played A.I. in forever so you ha e more experience then me but the idea a particular league is using a different A.I. or enhanced A.I. doesn't sound possible or probable to me.

The added effort it would take JDB to alter the A.I. for a specific league and basically run a different Sim for a random league seems unlikely.

Why Big Data? JDB could care less about some private league that's half full. Any alterations to the code would happen in bleeding beta not Big Data....it's a dying league with no direction.

That would imply JDB is running 3 different simulation (4.6/Beta/Big Data). The more likely scenario is A.I. has been altered game wide and its more noticeable in Big Data because half the league is A.I.

I can see where a properly run A.I. would be harder to beat then some owners that are newer or simply lost in the woods.

Personally, it's more a good news/bad news scenario. An improved A.I. has its advantages especially from a league admin perspective but if A.I. starts going to Conference and Title games often, it gets a bit too much.

No.

I pound out AI everywhere else. Pound it out badly. I can't go into detail on how I caught it not pairing right due to burning ears.

My theory is perhaps when the league was formed setherick informed JDB of the Big Data, data collection project of the league and it got special treatment from JDB. Treated different. I don't know but I can guarantee the AI is off there.

Cull through Infinity's vacated AI d-calls.

If it's true and Setherick's league got special attention then I'm seriously pissed at JDB!!!

I doubt anyone in MFN has spent more money on his dream project and I've NEVER gotten any special attention or treatment.

Oh well, the good news for you is Big Data will be gone soon enough and cross my fingers I won't have too many A.I opponents ever!

I think the AI got stealth updated, or keeps parts of the last defensive game plan. In D&D, I played an AI team that used almost the exact same defensive game plan it's owner used the previous season. It was the Massacre and the only added defensive plays I noticed were cover 2, wide line cover 3, and a dime prevent.

That makes more sense to me....MFN wide for A.I. teams instead of a single league....Smirt beating A.I. makes sense based on the previous owner settings because how many owners actual can beat Smirt?

Big Data has 2 A.I. teams above. 500 and Shark & Infinity were the previous owners.

I didn't check the rosters but I'm sure both have plenty of speed

Honestly, once you put the roster together and a solid gameplan...it's a dice roll or a coin flip on who wins when elite owners meet
