This player doesn't seem to be on par with his rookie class. He is twice as fast as his counterparts and unstoppable. Owner has multiple CPUs with the same name, could this be an exploit?

Looks to be a level 2 per scouting page

I’ve always been a believer that some CPU dots are blessed game changers. Saw four in pee wee last season that rocked a few teams early season. I think it’s kinda cool.

There was some weirdness with how CPU DEs got generated this season, for sure.

Check out this monster for an example. https://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/player_game_log.pl?player_id=4833112

Only game he didn't have 7+ sacks, was against a 100% rushing squad. Put up 21 tackles, 44 rev cakes, 18 TFL in that one.

Also, almost every CPU DE in the league - is getting tagged for KR/PR duties, something that wasn't happening in prior seasons.

Don't mean to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but yeah ... something is definitely off pretty strongly. All the D league scores that were so hyper inflated, have jumped the other direction to like 6-0, 7-10, etc. Hell, week 1 there a 0-0 tie, with 23 sacks in the game ... all CPUs. https://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/game.pl?game_id=41070
Speed scout Jairo on some of those plays, you'll see he's moving at about twice the speed of any WR ...

Brew's OL got rev caked 30 times in week 1 against CPUs ... that has never happened before, even when we were going up against boosters and running NB/NC dots in the Underground Leagues. So something is definitely fishy, in particular with the CPU DEs.

CPU team in Pee Wee Gold just smoked probably the best team in the league 57-0. Exciting times!

TL;DR: CPU defenders found Lyle Alzado's stash of 'roids. It's been making the lower level leagues more interesting trying to deal with them though.

*edit* Just saw your post and checked the game. Yeah, that CPU SS is not moving at rookie dot speed. Not even CLOSE.

I’d love to see CPU teams competitive as a standard. Keeps every game meaningful. Especially in leagues where there’s several cpu teams.

Maybe give team owners to pay flex for big shortage positions like OL and hire cpu dots that do well.

10 years ago I said this and got chewed up on the idea but I still think it would add value to have competitive CPU teams

If the idea was to slow the ridiculously high scoring in the D-Leagues, by boosting up CPU defenders - I'm all for it, might need a little tweaking though. Some of them are moving like they're age 100, not 1, and with the strength to break blocks instantly and tackling that no rookie dot has (forcing a lot of fumbles).

https://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/team_stats.pl?league_id=339&conference_id=0&stat=defense&playoffs=0

125 sacks after 3 games. 33 fumbles forced.

I think there were 3-4 total forced fumbles total for all players in the rookie season right after the DotPocalypse, with all human players ...

Tried to sign him for CL, declined the offer.

i think it has to do with how they are calculated against the league average for human dots... early boosters raise the average and the league ends up with super cpus. the only other full team in your league is 13s.

Doesn't really explain the rookie D league, PeeWee, casual etc. seeing similar freak show CPU dots, or ALL of them being on defense resulting in 0-0 tie games, unless there's defensive TDs.

There's been a few times when a team demotes from a high level league, the CPU dots aren't released or reset and stay at that average level...


if you look at S107 https://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/team.pl?season=107&team_id=10124

all those opponents are L20+ now. I'd be willing to bet those CPU dots are based on that

Cotton league was also the one Bort added late. It was just Orange and Rose for a long while. Those teams have no history at all, so there's no telling what they're scaling off of.

well it all changed after the new build system was implemented...

27 sacks, 6 FFum in 3 games. D-league DE.

https://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/player.pl?player_id=4833189 Ditto. 14
https://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/player.pl?player_id=4830039 Ditto. 13
https://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/player.pl?player_id=4839559 Ditto. 10

There's multiple examples over in PW Gold as well, where there isn't a big discrepancy in levels. Same with the D League dots posted above as most of the rookie dots there are slow rolling their builds.

I can pull more examples, but the Bort signal has already been lit. I'll wait for him to take a look.

The D-League didn't have CPUs filling the top 8 spots in recent seasons, after the build system changed. This is new.
