Bots or not in H2H matches?

Hey guys,

I had to get some light into this thing here. So, I've been playing FC Mobile quite a lot lately on all the different modes. One part of the discussion I didn't see too much is the obvious:

are some of the opponents AI-players even in higher echelons?

I once suspected this in another thread concerning opponents in the VSA mode, and one of the main honchos (Mendozza something) kindly replied that "bot-players are a fact if you're just starting out, to fill the gaps of non-existing entry level opponents."

However, what's your take on this?

My cups-rating is around 440,000 at this moment, and especially today I've played quite a few games with opponents that have very, very similar traits.

These traits are:

- Very little or no emoji-communication

- Lots of similar passing to the side on attack, often accidentally passing over the touchline

- Never attacking through the midfield

- Attacks "always" end up in corners where a pass is made on the very front of the goal, often with or without a player waiting

What's your take? Is EA admitting it, or is this my imagination and people just simply play very mechanically with certain devices/whatnot?

Thanks!

  • @5da0e4efc5f6e705 Lots of players will just start a h2h match and let the AI play it for them so that they get the match rewards (win, lose or draw) … i used to do it when it was necessary to get the star pass points from the matches, I would just set and forget for my 10 matches a day and would hover around that 400k - 500k cup level winning the occasional match where my opponent also just let it autoplay.

    You are not necessarily playing against a bot team, but you are playing a full match against the AI, same as if it were a bit team.

    You will generally only encounter bots at the very low levels - under 200k fans/cups - as the points systen is designed to relatively quickly move you up to around the 200k level (a lot less points for a loss than a win or draw at those levels).
  • Thanks for the reply.

    I'm not sure if, if this is true, this is something that makes me very hyped about playing the game.


    How is is possible that all of a sudden around III World Class-league all players got bored and are just letting the AI do the work? This doesn't make much sense: i didn't have this before in the Pro-league.

    I think this is the point where I lost inspiration.

    Also, anyone else thinking about the same thing?

    Are you just letting the AI play the game? Do you play just for collecing players, not for the fun of a good match?

    @5da0e4efc5f6e705 I don’t know mate - I can only tell you the facts, I guess it’s up to you to decide whether you believe them or not 🤷‍♀️

    There are bot teams at the very low levels because the cups/fans allocation mechanism pushes teams quickly up to the 300,000 level … dip below that and you will regularly face bots.

    They are easy enough to spot because they usually have numbers in the name, and you can’t check their player profile in your match history.

    Many players, especially in h2h, get to that 400,000 or so mark and find that the lag they encounter makes it near impossible to win because they have very little control over their players, making defending and scoring very difficult.

    Consequently they autoplay 10 matches to get the Div Rivals points for the loss … sometimes against other auto players, or against players who don’t understand that when you hit an auto player you just play slow and almost always win, they jag a win or two and manage to hover are f that high 300k low 400k mark.

    It may be that sometimes you are hitting a bot account up there because there is nobody playing, but it’s unlikely … check their profile in your history after the match and you will be able to tell.

    Once you progress a bit further then you will likely find that you play lesss and less autolayers, and you can’t get much higher than 450k on autoplay these days as they have dumbed it down considerably
