So, if I were rebuilding (especially with a limited budget) and I had to choose, I would heavy up on the international and amateur scouting. Just remember to revisit this allocation once you are done "rebuilding." Now, on a personal level, I can tell you that I have my own preferences that stay the same over time despite whether I am on the top or on the bottom of the standings. I tend to do what I just recommended all the time, frankly.
To add a bit to what The Game said, it was announced that OOTPB 15 will have more flexibility in this aspect in that you won't need to have positions open prior to recruiting better coaches. Presumably, you will be able to hire and fire rather than fire and hire.
Look at it this way. You don't get bench coaches in the minor leagues so teaching is most probably not a highly important rating for them. Below is a segment from the online manual that describes managers and bench coaches. It seems to me that a bench coach supplements the manager's traits and that, on the major league level, HANDLE VETERANS and HANDLE PLAYERS would be the very least that an acceptable coach or manager should have good ratings for. However, I am sure that the HANDLE ROOKIES and the TEACH ratings also have some effects, so look for a bench coach that has blue and green numbers in EVERY category! (Good luck with that.  ) |
