Weird managerial questions

[YATSEN10R]

Does anyone else get extremely anal about hiring managers? I don't just mean spending a lot of time deciding who to hire. I never hire a fictional manager or coach, and I wind up Googling all the names of good candidates that I don't recognize. Is there any way to determine who the fake candidates are based on?

I don’t hire fake managers either. I don’t think there is a way to tell which ones are fake other then what you are already doing. As far as I know they aren’t based on real coaches but I could be wrong. There’s no ‘manager card’ in the game and what I mean by that is something like player cards but for managers where you could see what teams they have managed or coached on before and how much experience they have so I don’t think there is any other way to tell.

Really wish they’d do something different and put a manager on the cover one year maybe for something a little extra and special and really go in that year and upgrade and flesh out that part of the game. It’s so basic right now. We need to be able to edit and create managers/coaches, manager tendencies, etc.

We also need to know what exactly the +’s and -‘s do, like how much do they matter? I’d prefer that to just be thrown out and replaced with like ratings anyway though. The coaching staff stuff needs a major overhaul.

Along with expansion/relocation, this is at the top of my wish list for 2019.

I don't know if 18 allows you to sort managers/coaches by name. In 17 it doesn't. I had planned on tracking managers/coaches per team like I do for Madden 12, then I realized this implementation doesn't really make a difference to me, and like every other sports game after the season ends instead of keeping the coaches on the staff in the re-sign period, they are dumped into the general pool that I can't search or sort. So now at the end of the season I just sign coaches to the slots (if I come across a real person I'll try to get him on a team) but it is just background noise to me in this game the way it is implemented.

In my game, managers arent hired to be fired. Since I'm the mgr ( & gm, & owner ) I'm not firing myself lol

No sir, I only fire players. They're the ones to blame

In my game I'm also the commissioner and I have no problem suspending managers and owners who abuse their players.
