It wouldn't be possible make evident show a computerized teams through a different color in the name?
In calendar, in the standings, in a player's sheet, in your bookmarks?
I know a red, a gray .. just to have immediately at a glance the idea of what kind of team is it.

Put an asterisk nest to the name of bot teams on the league standings page. Easy to do. Easy to see. No added colors or anything complex.

In fact, this concept is already used to identify teams that have had a forfeit during the season so there is precedent for doing so.

This exact way of identifying bot teams (an asterisk by their name in the standings) is used in an American Football sim I play and it works just fine.

I don't think that the motivation for not giving an option to managers is "is already too colorful"..
Surely we can say that it will not be a very important thing for the game, but I do not think it's too complicated to do.

During the season a team can become bots at any time, not everyone has a lot of time to follow every single page of the league in which that data is available (even this is a flaw in my opinion .. just add under the name of the manager in the team page the last login made by the user ..)

Having a complete overview of who you are dealing with is also a right for those who are able to spend less time in front of the screen ..

The login date under the manager's name would also help small national coaches to monitor teams that have interesting players for national teams.

30 seconds for each team ..
Player (if you are a supporter and have bookmarks for all players) -> Team -> ranking series -> Conference and
Player -> Team -> ranking series -> Conference and
Player -> Team -> ranking series -> Conference

Let's not talk about epochal turns to the game, let's talk about small changes to make it easier to manage some things.

The asterisk for forfeited games is by the record. the asterisk for bot would be by the team name.

both seem pointless to me, but i don't think it would be hard to add.

besides the team name issue, I also wonder whether there is a way to buy the players in BOT teams.
