New owners

Can we just join a league without computer generated owners, the ones who seem unbeatable, the ones who go 12-4, 13-3, 14-2, 15-1, and 16-0, and leave at the beginning of the playoffs? I admit I don't like being insulted, but when a 14-2 team leaves just before the big game after not checking in for the season, I am insulted.

DON"T CREATE A NEW LEAGUE UNTIL A PREVIOUS LEAGUE IS FULL WITH REAL OWNERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And if this is a reason to pay to play, then count on me not paying.

i am guessing you are talking about San Francisco 49ers in MFN 83

San Francisco = https://mfn83.myfootballnow.com/team/view/21
1st owner that left before the playoffs = https://mfn83.myfootballnow.com/forums/thread/1/9?page=1#9
2nd owner the one that took over = https://mfn83.myfootballnow.com/forums/thread/1/94?page=1#225

your thread you made in that league = https://mfn83.myfootballnow.com/forums/thread/1/90?page=1#247


really to be honest there is nothing that can be done about that.

Only way you could do something about it is where all playoff teams owners are locked in for those teams by a certain week for the playoffs and they have to play their playoff games then once that team gets eliminated the owner can jump ship.

I really have no problem with transferring ownership, but in reality when you have an owner that goes 14-2 (San Fran), or 13-3 (Tampa Bay), ect, in a new league.....and the league gets new owners just before the teams mentioned, for example, playoff game....that lets me for one know I was playing against a program who had the better players, better plays chosen, ect.
For the life of me, I cannot remeber a real life team with a winning record offering their team for sale. The owners who took over the successful team while in the playoffs truly did not belong there. Just my opinion worth absolutely nothing.

It's better to have the Ai manage a team than to have a human NOT manage it.

Computer generated owners? I didn't think we had "bots" in this game. I thought a "human"
had to take ownership. If the person went afk, it was a human. I thought the Ai only controlled the team when there wasn't an owner. That is different than someone taking a team & not signing back in.....ever.

New leagues are only created when all but one of each existing league type are full. (A league is considered full if there is only 1 available team). It's been a little bit since we've had a new league get started.
