OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Making using coaches/scouts more challenging

Though it seems the OOTP veteran consensus is to not use coaches and scouts, I have not been able to break from that. I tried setting a house rule of having a personal salary cap for those 6 positions but did not really like that.

So I just tried something that seemed to work out pretty well on first glance. I set my team to computer controlled for the signing coaches. Well, not the whole time, I just did one day at a time until my open coach slots were filled rather than the do all days option. Then I switched back to human controlled. There were no transactions of any kind on my team by the computer manager as far as I could tell - nothing in the news, no roster movements. So I got the "benefit" of not getting just the best guys, and it seems there was no cost at all in turning over control of the team for a couple days to the AI.
