The team with the best record in our league right now is being managed by a computer. Will there be anything built in to prevent them from promoting? Seems like the goal should be to eventually get rid of them, not have them moving up...

To this end, a number of the teams in our league (III.1) are managed by computer players. Is the plan still to just wait until they all eventually relegate down (which may be a while, given that at least one of them is so good), or will they be replaced at some point by real people?

Don't forget there is a playoffs. Jut because they finish 1st doesn't mean they will promote.

Yup... but they won't be the only comp team in the playoffs, either. Not a big issue I get (though a bit unfortunate), just curious.

It is bound to happen with a game in its infancy like BB.

Of the top 8 teams in III.10, 7 are computer teams. I'll bet anyone a hotdog that one of them promotes to II.

My question now is: Do computer teams train? The players in their default lineup seem to be improving, but I have no way of knowing.

They may be training the first thing on the training list...which is form.

Is the training reset when the old manager loses the team and the computer takes over?

No idea, a BB would have to answer that.

Another point that I dont see an answer to:

They will be replaced by real people next season when the leagues are opened up for new players again.
