in 2v2, my AI partner doesnt help at all.

[nicewolf64]

I decided to try 2v2 and my ai partner is killing me. i kept getting to UNO with the color i needed showing, and my partner would change it. or have the option to change to the color i needed and not do it. because i was playing jump in, it literally had the same card as my UNO. it could have played it, i jump in for the win. but nooooooo, it plays a reverse who then lays a draw 4 on me. seeing how the AI selects cards to play, really shows me how horrible the AI plays. it appears to be 100% random. please make the 2v2 ai smarter. at a minimum, if its partner has uno, run thru their entire hand and see if they have any cards that will help their partner.

i play UNO with a green card left. the next player plays a green 1. my ai "partner" has a green skip and a yellow 1. any guesses as to which the AI plays? any one? Bueller? thats right, it plays the yellow 1, the next player plays a draw 2, and we end up losing the hand and eventually the game.

the whole AI needs an upgrade. the AI seems to consistently play the worst possible card when I'm down to my last card. Its to the point now that I dont even try to go out myself, but try to set up my "partner" to use all of their cards. other examples of stupidity by the AI:
not calling Uno 3 times in the same hand;
they have a hand full of the color showing, yet throw down a wild and calls the same color;
almost always playing a red card if they can regardless of the situation;
playing a reverse when the prior player just used a wild and called uno;
playing a skip, even when I dont have that color and they had other cards to have played;
challenging a draw 4 when it was just drawn from the deck;
not challenging when the opponent just laid a draw 4 and called the same color;
always playing the card with the least value;
not changing the color, direction, or skipping when the next player called uno and had changed to this color.

i've seen 3rd graders play smarter than the AI here. there's a tom of potential here thats going to waste

i dont know what you changed this week, but its horrible. i had UNO pretty quickly, then it was draw2s, then some draw 4s, and before i even played another card, i had over 15 cards in my hand. so i was in perfect situation for us to win. it was my AI partner's turn, it was the right color, leaving him with a draw 4. but noooooo, it plays the draw 4, doesnt call uno and within a few times around the table, it has 20 cards, and we lose yet another hand. the game was fun, but is unplayable with the AI right now. I went from winning 75% of the hands to maybe 10% because the ai opponents seem to have or to draw nothing but draw and skip cards. i went 3 games without getting a single draw 4. meanwhile i went 8 straights turns getting hit with a draw card. i spend most of my games with 20+ cards in my hand. please give us the option so that all 3 AIs play the same flawless game. the ai partner just refuses to call uno more than a quarter of the time, and then only when it knows that i cant help it go out

I guess nothing came of this. 2v2 AI is still dumb as bricks. I had UNO on blue, with no jump-in, and my partner had a blue Skip they decided not to play and it cost us the hand, among other less recent blunders.

Yeah this is a thread necro, but a relevant one.

Although the bots never consider the cards in their buddy's hand, at least they play following the algorithm. Therefore, lead them well with understanding their habit, and you would be able to win. On the contrary, stupid players make troubles sometimes more than bots because their actions are hard to be predicted. Certainly, it is too high that the probability of forgetting to say UNO for bots, even I think though.

One time in a free for all match an AI played a wild as the second to last card and the AI before him in the turn jumped in and did the exact same color, wtf.

[GAZAYOUTH93X]

I'm having the same complaints as everyone here. The AI is hot doodoo water. It needs great rework.
