Historical managers?
How does the game determine what historical managers will be introduced in the game?
And when are they introduced? I'm replaying Royals seasons beginning in 1969 and about to begin 1974 season. So far the game has not had Bob Lemon (managed KCR 1970-72) or Jack McKeon (managed KCR 1973-75). Is there something I need to do to get them in the game? Was thinking of just creating them by changing name and characteristics of an unemployed manager, but held off thinking they'll eventually show up. Is there a list somewhere of which historic managers OOTP introduces each year that I can reference? |

Does anyone know of a thread that discusses how to manage the franchise personnel?
Things like tips and affects personnel choices have on the game. I've looked, but not found one. The game itself is so fantastic to play it has consumed most of my non-work time. The images for stadiums adds a whole new level of immersion into the game. I continue to discover new things about it everyday that have me going "WOW!!!" There is so much detail to everything. Thank you in advance for any info that others can provide on this. |

On the positive, it's possible to change the fictional personnel to historical by editing, so that is very good. I'll just start doing that. |

Something cool I discovered is when retired players are looked up under "Available Actions" tab it gives option "turn into coach"!
This is great cause if a personnel person had a playing career they can now easily be a mgr, coach, scout, etc. I'll be spending some enjoyable hours increasing my personnel pool! |

I use historical managers in name only. When your using actual rosters they seem to get close to their win/loss total since they have the same ballplayers. I just don't want to have Miller Huggins letting Babe Ruth steal more than he did in real life. Things like that i would have to know the historical managers don't have to big of influence. So if i have to limit historical managers then why not just use them in name only for historical leagues? I just made a list of the managers and change them each season. |

So far though I really like having the personnel with ratings that impact the game. It adds a whole new level of play to a sports simulation replay. The managers style of play, lineup, coaching skills, managing players in clubhouse, etc. can have a significant impact on a teams success or not. |
