I purchased the gsme friday and can't wait to get into it. Problem is I can't decide "how" to start. I am like this with any sports game I play. It can take days (usually more) to decide who and how to start a season or franchise. Gets rather annoying

. These are the options I am mulling over, would love any feedback, ideas or similar stories.

1) start a career as an unemployed manager. pick job in SA or RL. This would let me learn the game hands on (spent hours this weekend reading the online manual..........visine anyone?) and earn a mlb managing/gm job down the road.
2)go back in time and be the expansion Colorado Rockies and start their franchise from the expansion draft on. A little intimidated by all the responsibilities of the GM at the moment.
3)start a game using 2009 mlb teams and take total control of the Reds. Again, lots of responsibilities involved (and learning) with the GM roll.

Would also like to say how impressed I am with the OOTP community and support here. Fantasic info and the work you guys do with the mods is truely amazing. After I get comfortable playing one of the above options I plan on creating a full fictional league down the line. Can't wait to use/create logos and uniforms.
Thanks for any input guys!
