I keep asking this year after year, and of course the addition of real managers coming in for the year you start a historical save is a major improvement. BUT

This must go much further to have the "include full coaches" playing historical. Lets take next step getting minor league managers for the year one start. Not very funny to start in 1981 and finding AAA Oklahoma City 89ers managed by a Taiwan bloke. No disrespect but I can hardly see the addition of coaches and manager from countries like that in the 80s.

Perhaps also having the bench coaches in the majors would be nice.

Add these coaches and managers OR make it possible for players to import them into the game so that the fantasy blokes can be deleted.

The situation that often happens is that if you fire your manager you got 95% fantasy managers/coaches to hire to take your team onwards in history.
Total fiasco IMHO.

Perhaps just a minor edit thing. Being able to change reputation. Funny to turn Bobby Cox into a manager if starting in 1986-89, when he took a brake from managing. Then after setting 6-8 years of experience he still is unproven.

Well some sort of advancement in this part of deleting fantasy coaches/manager and bring the real guys into the game. After all they have been a historical backbone of the game and playing history settings isn't complete without them.
