I am not trying to start an argument...I'm tired of those type of threads...but I think a manual with a product is basic. It should be ready when the game is released...especially when it is such a highly complex game like OOTPB. I have been playing it for over two years and still am learning new things about it. It is mindboggling what I have learned from board members during that time.

While not perfect, when I first purchased the game, I got a pretty good foundation on the game from the OOTP3 manual. I think it would be helpful to the newcomers to the game...and I really hope it proves to be helpful to the game vets, by giving us some help on player development and aging modifiers and the interaction of stuff, movement and control, recalculate totals button and BABIP. A lot of us are in need help in those areas...and I'm sure there are other areas that need some explanation.

I thought jbmagic's post was alright...a good question. I wish we would all give a poster the benefit of a doubt and not be quick to pounce on them...especially for grammar and spelling and minor things of that ilk...or for asking a question about a particular subject that might be a sensitive one.
