I agree with the assessment that these are bot account, but I would put money on those being real W-L records. That is, the real record of an actual player. Bots mirror the account of a real user, including their record.   Somewhere out there, someone (who plays as the Bucs, or at least did at the time) had an OD record of 22,665-632 at the time the bot profile was loaded after the first game was played. Your own matchmaking criteria dictated that you would hit a bot, and that person was playing a game at the time and was selected as the "parent" of the bot. The other screenshot, with the 22,666-632 record I presume was taken very shortly after the first. Between the time that the two bot profiles were loaded, the actual user won an OD game (and apparently made slight lineup changes), hence why the record is one win different. If you were to go back and reload either profile again, the record would likely be different still (assuming the real user these bots were based off has played at least one game of OD since).

Before posting my previous reply to this thread, my profile still showed I had the correct number of posts. Now after replying, my post count dropped to one. I sorted threads by "most replies" to see if my overdrive-bot-reveal-thread still existed (and if it still listed MSNH as the poster or this new name) and the entire thread appears to be gone entirely. Oddly enough I still have my MHC and Honor though.

Very strange.. I appear to have lost mine as well.

Matchmaking criteria is based solely on recent RANKED games (except your team power obviously). You were likely on a losing-streak in ranked at this time, thus triggered the "recent losses" criteria to match with a bot in unranked. Since unranked does not alter these criteria, you will continue to match with bots in unranked endlessly until you go back to ranked and play/win a few games to recalibrate your matchmaking variables.

Quote from realrkennedy >> I have also heard of 2 users playing the same bot/mirror at the same time. This is true. I have done so myself. The two instances of the mirror scored fairly different amounts of points as well.

To back up what Rshoots said above, yes this is quite common if the conditions are right. If you and the other (real) player are spinning at roughly the same time, game after game, and you're floating the border between matching up with a bot or a real player, this can happen numerous games in a row, especially if the two of your have very similar matchmaking criteria. I've been doing some of my testing with a similar setup to this so have experienced it first hand.   Edit: I should clarify, I've not hit perfect alternating of one game mirror, one game real, one game mirror, etc.. although I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be that hard to make that happen if you set up up your criteria right and tried to make it happen.

Quote from Rshoots >> Quote from NathanJM0 >> Everything I've been able to find in the data/code seems to support EA's public remarks about OD Bots. This does not necessarily mean that the game is working without defects -- if your experience in matching bots differs from the below, I'd love to hear about it to build a more rich story of how the game works and how we can best play it.
