But the responses and perspectives of those trying to assist you in this thread have also been totally valid and understandable.
You have specific desires for how to play the game. You are certainly not alone in this. Probably not alone in your specific wishes, but definitely not alone in having something specific you would love to see changed/improved in the game. But of course, no single game is going to contain everything that every user wants it to have. The great thing about OOTP, in my view, is that the developers do continue to strive to respond to the wishes of their customers and continuously build improvements in the game. Will your wish get granted soon or ever? I have no way of knowing. But it certainly might.
You think this is a no-brainer. I get that. It doesn't follow that others need to agree with you on this. Perhaps more importantly, I think that what many others here are saying is that you perhaps shouldn't make perfect the enemy of good. Hopefully someday you will get your wish. In the meantime, are the approaches that others have described here really so horrible, given the overall high quality of OOTP which you yourself have acknowledged?

The bad thing is when you have things you beg and whine for to be added. But, by the time they are added you've become addicted to some other form of play and feel guilty every minute that you never use the begged for feature. Ugh.
I begged for a manage only mode for years and years. Probably to the point of ticking off forum members to no end. Markus adds manage only, but shortly after he does so, I'm reading threads by Tiger Fan, Bluenoser, Dream Teams etc. and I decide to give spectator mode a try. I love it and have been playing that way almost exclusively since. Since 16, I've hardly done anything else.
Then come Tournaments. Man I wanted this feature. When it was first introduced it was rather primitive. But, since then it's been improved and is a great addition. But, my begging self hardly ever uses it. Believe me, it's hard to sleep at night being me.
