Manager Sackings

[WolverineX]

I need some help with OOTP 21 as new to the game and the series.

I have started a standard MLB league game and I am around 3 seasons in. One thing I have noticed is that are never any GM/Manager sackings or if they are i am not being notified. It seems across my 3 seasons I haven’t seen any sackings from any teams (even when they have had horrific seasons or are on really bad loosing streaks). I am playing in commissioner mode but haven’t changed any of the settings. Not sure if this is just the way the game runs or is it something I need to change in the options, just doesn’t seem realistic compared to a real life MLB season.

Also havn’t checked this out but are real MLB coaching staff used even those not employed currently so they can be recruited by other teams. Is there a good mix ?

Go to league news. You'll probably find some.

Thanks Brad,

I tried this as well several times across the season and haven’t seen any. Not sure if i am missing something here. Is league news a separate ate screen to what news appears in your mailbox (home screen)

Go to the MLB tab and then news. I don't know exactly how it works but mine has two years of messages. Found one from last year where the Orioles GM got fired and a separate one where the Orioles Manager got fired.

In my experience (from the little I pay attention to these types of news items), it's far more likely for this to happen after the postseason wraps up than during the season.

Ditto this pretty much exactly

I'm 100% certain I've seen GM's and managers let go after the season
I have no recollection of it happening during a season
I pay almost no attention to it
