Thanks for the response. We were afraid of this. So to play against other people in an online league you are basically a glorified GM and not an actual manager. I know that there are lots of settings for tendencies and such. But there is nothing like having full control of a pitch by pitch game. So the only way to get the full use of the game is to play a league by yourself or spend lots of time trying to work out times to get together to play both teams schedules. This is a pretty big letdown. Thanks again for clearing this up for us. It saves me more hours of research.
