Hi all, long time FM addict who has just made the jump to OOTP15 but I have a few questions!

Trying to get my head around the game I have started a 2014 season with the Mets. When the game started, it was March 31st. Will it not start at the beginning of Spring Training?

Also, I have chosen to play in GM mode. Is this a good way to "learn" the game? how do most people play? I have Terry Collins set up to make all decisions etc although I do feel like I am maybe not getting the full experience by not micro managing each game? Perhaps thats just the FM player in may as it would take me forever to complete a season if I managed each game surely?

Finally, is it possible to start way down in the Minors and work my way up to the Majors? I love long term career games and that would be ace!

Sorry if the questions seem silly, but I absolutely love the initial impressions of the game and want to get the most out of it!
