As a member of a defensive-minded team who hasn't competed yet (We're going to Lone Star) I'm not sure how to comment. I really liked the earlier comment of having tags to designate bots as "non-contact" during practice. Going back to the football practice analogy made by someone earlier, this is similar to having your quarterback wear a red (or just off-color) jersey in practice. It's a signal to everyone "HEY! He's important and fragile! Don't hit him!" I don't think you can completely restrict defensive play in practice, because that's unfair to the defensive teams. However, as has been stated, you can't allow teams to run rampant and play full-on defense during practice, because that's unfair to the offensive teams.

All in all, let's get some tags to designate who's playing and who's not, and find some sort of happy-medium.
