GM Mode

How many of you that only play the role of GM, actually watch your games? I've been debating on whether to play as GM or GM/manager. Thinking about a GM only role but watching the games unfold.

That is exactly what I have been doing almost since I began playing OOTP. Watching the games gives me a greater feeling of involvement with the players, but watching the games rather than calling plays makes it possible to get through games much faster. Rather than call plays, I just tweak team and player strategy sliders if I think my AI manager isn't doing things quite to my liking.

I just play GM only, I like to watch the games when my best pitchers are playing. Otherwise i just sim day to day. I think i may watch all my home games and sim all the away games. Just love the thought of being a GM instead of a Coach.
