HOLY COW... Markus, you certainly have ramped this up a bit... Kudos to you..
Now, that being said... SHOULD I decide to download this (Yeah right who am I kidding)... How should I start? I cannot imagine Owning and Managing a team right off the bat.... But I want to see results (As an owner, I seem to drive my teams BANRUPT and as a Manager, I would go maybe .540 maybe .560) and keep me interested in this game longterm... I LOVE DETAILS... And managing them....Apparently I do not have a knack for handling LOTS of them...

I saw a few threads to start off as an owner... But then in other threads, I read how owner gets boring quickly... This group was friendly "Back in the day" as my kids say. and seems to have even gotten moreso.... So I value your opinion and suggestions...
And potential settings... Feel free to suggest that..
One of the BEST hints I got back in my first tour was dont bother downloading the MLB pack (There was a guy who did fabulous work) because after 4 to 6 seasons you are dealing with Jim No Name guy because your Loftons and such, retired anyway.. So may as well start out with the unknowns... That helped a LOT.... Didnt get all bummed when so and so retired (Star Name) and I got Jim No Name with KILLA stats...

DAMN, where is my credit card??? (LOL At work so no can do

)

Anyway, I look forward to your replies...

Edit.. Reading the manual... CAN YOU SAY OMG?!?!?!?!?
