I am too old to manage

Bobfather · 01-06-2023, 02:33 AM

I am heading into my age 86, season. I want to retire after this season. How do I set my own successor, and not have my owner pick one?
Also, all the decent free agent coaches are 90 plus, any way to inject younger coaches?

Put yourself in Comish Mode

1. Create a new manager and assign him to the team.

2. Go to Free Agent personnel and create as few or many managerial pers as you wish.

What if you're stuck in Challenge Mode? Can you do that in that scenario?

Have never played in Challenge Mode, but my understanding is you cannot edit much and cannot put yourself in Commish Mode.

Yeah I think kind of the point of Challenge Mode is that you don't get to edit stuff like that. The owner will act in his own whimsical OOTPesque way.

Unfortunately, though, I'm playing the same league I started back in OOTP18 or 19, and I didn't really know what Challenge Mode meant then. Being able to turn this off permanently is my biggest request for an update.

That seems odd. The game should be retiring staff well before then

My best guess is that somehow the issue is that the OP imported the game multiple times. Weird things can happen with imports.
