So many bots!

At level 1, the game needs to produce a large enough quantity of bot teams per server, so there is a team for a new player to manage.

As stated above once you reach level 2, you'll be facing real people. Although, most the teams you'll face the next couple/few seasons are managed by real people, in most cases it'll be like playing against bots. Several players log-in like once or only play the game for a week or two before not accessing the app again; these accounts stay active for something like 90 days. It provides a great opportunity to pad that trophy case, maybe even win a triple crown

Its kind of funny when these teams fail to promote and you draw them in the league. They won't have renewed contracts, average player age upwards of 30, will have players playing out of position and/or not have key positions (striker, goalie, etc...) on the roster. You'll see them at higher levels too, but at lower levels they might sit around 9th in the league instead of dead last.
