heyericiscool, welcome to the forum. Personally I always liked the management better than the GM'ing and I never go the hang of simming my games. when I started i was quite confused so I had to scale it down.
At first I did an mlb quick start picked a rookie team and managed it letting the AI do all the roster stuff. I quickly found the rookie teams are harder to play because they have 30+ players, so if you want to just manage I would go short A or higher, you can also have the AI take care of minors, transactions, drafts and all the GM things while you play as manager only.
after that I wanted to make my own leagues so I played around with old time teams or make my own small league with 1 lvl of minors, once I even made a European league where every country had a team and could only have there nationality on a team, this let me sign and make a team without dealing with trades and drafts and scouting, i just had to find a guy from my nation sign him and play.
For the last few years i have got into the gm stuff more and currently I control pretty much everything, often I will let my minors choose lineups, but i still play out ever single ML game.
hopefully this will give you at least something to get you started, and you will find something that works for you. It can be a bit daunting at first if you keep it simple it will find you pick it up pretty fast.
If it helps i am in the same boat as you but with Football Manager I tried a demo once and could barely make heads or tails out of it, but I am a rather novice football fan.
