Question

So in OOTP I like to play as the GM only and let the head coach do lineups and tactics. Well I know that when I choose a team to play and create my own person to run it, it puts me in as coach and GM. Now I see that I can hire a head coach and it will put him as the head coach on the team. Now when I choose manager options and it says who sets up lineup and tactics it says either me or assistant.


So anyway my questions, is there anyway to have the coach handle lineups and tactics?


If not, since we have multiple assistants on a team who chooses the lineups and tactics?


Thanks in advance, been awhile since I have played.

I think by 'assistant' it means whoever is Head Coach. This is how I like to play OOTP and FHM so hopefully what I thought is correct

Thanks for reposting this Nino. I had overlooked this myself and found myself musing why I couldn't hire a coach. Now I know....

Much appreciated!

It's not a specific assistant. When you assign any decisions to assistant, the decisions are made using the same logic as the AI teams use and it's not dependent on a particular assistant's skills.

So are you saying that tactics and training settings and whatnot are not impacted at all by the quality and characteristics of our coaching staff? So coaches only impact player development and nothing else?

Well, I haven't seen the code so I can't tell for sure but if I understood Jeff's answer right, then it's true. You can find the answer yourself if you want, it's somewhere in the forums.
