What is your favorite way to play? GM only, GM/manager, or manager only? I'm finding it most challenging to play manager only. Trying to make do with whoever the GM gives you for a roster. I'm currently playing as the 76 Red Sox, with a 10 man pitching staff. The GM isn't making my life easy.

GM only, although I can overrule my manager if I so chose (rarely).

Right now my favourite way to play is as a spectator/historian

I like the full league experience, so I like Commissioner mode with my own limits on myself. I actually find myself making trades for other teams as well or resigning players for teams if I think their personality would warrant it

GM & Manager. I also don't like to sim games. I tried it a couple of times, but prefer to play out the games.

i do GM only with Legacy mode.

i make a coach as me, so i can have ratings, just in case they still matter. if they do i am guessing that a "human" is akin to having coaching off... ie 100/200 middle of the road stuff.

heh, even the owner is "my" family. so, that takes care of me controlling the budget in a much more efficient manner.

i alternate between delegating most things and micromanaging, but i always control trades, 25/40-man rosters, important prospecsts as they meander through my mil system etc etc... if it's important i put my hand on it and make sure it proper.
