As for questions I wanted to do a small test run league so i created a historical one and when I went to delete it a message popped up saying that I couldn't because it was my only league. Furthermore I'm only really into the GM aspects when it comes to managing a team so what would be some good settings to start up with? I appreciate the willingness to help me thanks
Maybe I'm cranky tonight, but if you think you are going to get more familiar with this game by asking random questions instead of taking the time to use such valuable tools as viewing those videos and at least skimming the manual, you got a long row to hoe. At the risk of being a "dickhead," to paraphrase buffalo_pete (who I realize was actually supporting my suggestion), you really should start there and THEN come back with questions. I wasn't trying to give just a pat answer.

Ok, that said:
  1. No, you cannot delete the only game that you have started. If you don't like that one, start another one and then go back to that screen and delete the first one.
  2. Here's another seemingly pat answer. Your best bet would be to set the controls so that your AI manager does everything. Sim day to day and observe what goes on. Then, gradually, take over the controls starting with the ones you feel more comfortable with; on the field or in the front office.
By all means, come back with questions. The other guys are not as cranky as me, and I'm usually mellow. Just don't look for shortcuts, because there aren't any.
