DB Keepers, AI screwed

Has anyone noticed that the keepers in some DB maps don't pass the ball once they get it? Is this a mapping flaw? my map does it to. any fixes?

Nah it aint nothing to do with the map, its a bot problem.

It might just be me

but I kinda get the idea Deathball was never meant to be a bot type of game. So if you ask me, who cares if the AI sucks? DB is modelled after soccer after all which is as much about creativity and knowledge with the ball as it is skills. I just think any AI would fall terribly short so why bother? Just hop on a server and have fun.

It probably is :p, especially amoungst the few of us who actually bother to make maps for you to play. It's not always easy getting together enough people to test your map everytime you update or change something, so decent bots would make bringing a map almost up to release status SO MUCH EASIER!
You still need human testing. Humans are so damn unpredictable they always find some bug or cheat that you never even thought of...

i honestly dont even understand why ppl without good net conenctions get a game like UT2. playing with PEOPLE is the entire point.
no one gives a shit about bots.
and so the DB team is working on stuff that is worth their time.

I'm actually getting a faster stuff here soon, but still bots are nice for have an absolet no lag game. evn still the bots still need a lot of work, thats what makes good mods, good online and offline play.
