Kind of fun trying to just GM a team, and not play a part on the field. I tried stepping into GM for Cubs in a 1989 Historical. Guess I ran into a Brad Pitt "Moneyball" situation with the crazy Mr. Zimmer.
The whole team crashed and reports of fist fighting in the clubhouse. Whatever I traded for and brought in by waiver wire Mr. Zimmer benched.
Had to take care of it like Brad Pitt, releasing and trading of Zimmers favs, but ended giving the crazy old goat the boot himself.
Very sad then the game only have true real manager for the MLB teams for the year you start your sim in.
All the free ones was rubbish. Could have been much better game with true managers that you could sign to get your team back on tracks.
Lets hope this part (GM only) gets better over the coming versions.
