The universe has determined that between me, my wife, my 2 brothers and my friend that are playing the game, we're only allowed to have 3 of us on at any given time. About 50% of the time I'm playing, my 4th is a bot. Even if we start out playing with a 4th, they usually leave after 1 round or so because their team mates suck (sorry, we're old) and then they're replaced with a bot.
It's not that we don't like playing with bots, it's just that having AI leading our team to victory while we're tripping over shrubbery and falling off of cliffs is a little embarrassing. We'd rather lose on our own merit.
I can't be the only one with up to but not exceeding 2 friends. I realize this is such a minor request in the sea of feedback you guys are getting, but I'm posting in the hopes that I can plant a seed for future consideration.
Thanks!
