Viewing Friend's Games vs Bots?

Hi,

I wanted to look at my son's recent game vs one of the bots, but when I go to his account it only lists his live games for me to view.

I've been searching for an option to view "vs bots" games, but I can't see anything in the various option menus.  I was able to see them before the recent update, but now the "vs bot" games seem to have vanished when I look?  Does anybody know if that is a bug or a new "feature"?

Not sure about this, but I think you can only see the games between bots if you game review them.

Yah, bot games don't save automatically, and you either have to deliberately save them to your history (so you can review them later) or review them (which auto-saves them to your history). He did that, and he can see the game in his history, but when I click on him and go to look at his games, none of the bot games show up anymore?

Uh, well, maybe they updated it so that you can’t see your friends’ games against bots, or they have put it in a different place. Not sure…

That's what it looks like, but I don't know why they would do that on purpose? It seems like an oversight in the update. He can't see my bot games either, so it's not just me.

You have to press the button to save it

This is correct. Games vs Bots only show up for the member that played them. That was a design decision.

On web, they automatically save now. Apps may still require saving manually, or with a review, but I believe that's going to match web if it hasn't already changed

But why would that even be a decision? It doesn't make sense to make them unviewable entirely. Those who play bots will want their friends to see some of their games, particularly if they beat a bot for the first time. At least include the option to "include bot games" or "view bot games".
