Watching Games

Why do I have to exit commissioner mode to watch a game, as opposed to only being able to quick play or manage as commissioner? That not only doesn't make sense, but is a pain. Maybe there's something I'm missing as to why it wouldn't be an option for the commissioner to just watch the game...?

You can watch in commissioner mode if you leave the teams controlled by their computer AI. You can watch in one-pitch mode this way too which you can't do if you're not in commissioner mode.

They are being controlled by the AI - I don't do anything and the AI makes all roster changes, trades, drafts, FA signings, etc., on its own for every team. I'm not the manager of any team, which is why the manage option makes no sense to me.

Click on manage to watch the game and leave the controls to the AI is what I'm saying.

Oh, I understand now. The manual suggests there are 3 diferent options, so I assumed watch game was different from manage game. I didnt want to click manage game and inject myself into the game in any way. Thanks for the clarification.
