Welcome
Yes. The game can be overwhelming when you're first getting started
Tip 1) start playing and when there's something you don't understand use the manual to try to figure it out
Tip 2) there's a ton of useful information in the New to the Game forum

The video tutorials might be especially helpful
Tip 3) when there's something specific you don't understand ask that question and people will be glad to help you.
Two main theories for beginners
1) turn off as much as you can when you start and add as you get comfortable
- you can turn off scouting
- you can assign things like control of your minor leagues to your assistant GM
2) jump in feet first
Which you choose is up to you depending on the kind of person you are
EDIT
This question gets asked a lot
