Computer AI logic questions

krownroyal83 · 10-24-2024, 07:24 PM

I'm on the fence getting this game but I'm leaning more towards getting the game for the first time in years. My question is I've seen on the forum people having issues with super stars going to free agency only to not be picked up and remaining in free agency, sometimes for years I'm assuming the AI didn't know how to fit said players under the cap and thus they remained unsigned. I don't even know if this is even an issue anymore. How does the AI logic compare to past iterations of this game?

They've said it's improved, but nobody can say how much until we play it ourselves tomorrow. Will it be perfect or anywhere close? I wouldn't count on it, but I do think it will be improved as they said.

I probably have higher standards than most so I hope it's realistic in the sense that really good players should never not be picked up in free agency. Whether it be in the off season or even a month into the season. I'll buy the game but if I don't like it it is what it is. Hopefully I love it though. I'm excited to try it.

You mean like Steven Stamkos?

Yes. I think that was an issue in people's saves. He 100% should be picked up in free agency.

Well, I rarely see top players still in the free agent market once the next season begins in FHM 10. If they improved upon that then I'd they've done pretty good. I think a lot of people have this misconception that top players never end up in free agency and or traded in reality, but that's just not true.

I certainly don't have that misconception at all as I know what's realistic and what's not. Having a superstar player finish his career in free agency because teams are not intelligent enough to make cap room, that's what's unrealistic.

Well haven’t come across too many smart AI in gaming, sports or otherwise. Probably why we humans are always able to fund ways to exploit it . I also question how “realistic” these games should be and if moat could handle it if there were. I mean injuries alone drive people nuts, even though they are quite common in reality. I can’t imagine how people would deal with realistic trading and such as well.
