"player is upset the team has no manager"

Well, as the manager of that team I'm a little offended.

If I am the manager of a minor league team and I set the strategy and the rosters and the pitching staff and address it on a day-to-day basis but I sim the games, am I not managing?

I got that in OOTP16 just the other night. I was GM&Mgr for a major league team.

Pretty sure he is "dissing" you.

Oh dear. You are both invisible and incompetent in the opinion of your player. The attitude is contagious and pretty your players will have an armed insurrection. Run! lol

NOT everyone will like the current manager even in real life

Is there somebody who occupies the manager's spot on that team's personnel page, or is it empty? If it's empty, then the team doesn't have a manager, even if you run everything yourself.

Well, that's pretty glitchy, then. If I'm GM & Mgr, I should be recognized as the Mgr.

I'd call this a bug, personally. If you're managing at the major league level then the bench coach has an effect, but missed the case of managing at the farm, where this shouldn't apply.

I was the manager of Miami's AA team and I could see myself and my reputation in Miami's front office personnel page

joefromchicago · 03-18-2016, 06:22 PM

But is the manager's spot on your AA team personnel page open or not? If it's open, then the team doesn't have a manager.

If you're playing a minor league, YOU are the manager. As I said, this was a bug that will be fixed for the main release Tuesday.

For what it's worth, when this happened to me in 16, I was GM and Mgr for a major league team in 1872. Out of the box settings.

Ok, thanks. I assumed I was doing something wrong and he was taunting me for not filling out my bench or something

thanks
