Disabling CPU Trading

cnield · 04-24-2007, 01:21 AM

I'm running an online league with an incomplete number of human GMs. Is there any way to prevent the CPU teams from trading with the human teams or stop them from trading while still letting them move guys up and down within their organization?

I'm not familiar with the workings of online leagues, so I will just guess and throw this out there as a possibility.

1. Create dummy "human" identities for the CPU teams and make them all commissioners if possible (although I'm not sure if you can have more than one human commissioner in a game at one time) to prevent them from being fired.

2. Have each of these "human" identities take over control of a CPU team.

3. Go to the manager options for each of these "humans" and set the Team Control Settings to AI control except the last one, "Initiate and react to trades." Leave that one under "human" control.

Well, just some thoughts. Let's see if someone else comes by with a better idea.

You can have more than one commish. And I agree with 1998 Yankees that that is the way to go in handling placeholders in an online league.
