    Re: Manage Only Sub-Thread

    This actually sounds fun. Im not too good at actually playing the game so I want to give this a try. Any tips or a guide for a newbie? I'm also fairly new to baseball, so some of the finer things get away from me and such. Looking forward to this!

      One little thing I noticed, if you have a pitcher due up and pinch hit for him, the corner infielders seem to play bunt defense for the first pitch as if the pitcher is hitting.

        Any workaround for this?

        And is there any way to not have the managing OSD disappear every time I hit the 'select' button (looking at hot/cold zones, pitcher analysis, etc)? When I return to the game, the OSD is gone and I can't make any managerial decisions until the next pitch.
        I just ran into this one tonight in a late game situation. Ugh. Put on the hit and run, and my guy successfully stole 2nd. Then on the next pitch he tried to steal 3rd on his own, and got thrown out.

        They need to fix that one.

            Oh, so if you call the hit and run that way, they will not steal the next base? If so, I was unclear on that during the previous discussion. Sorry.

              Yes.....don't use the menu.
              Use the "hot keys" instead for H&R

                  I never use the hot keys for H&R and have never had the guy try to take 3rd the way you guys are talking about. Just thought I would say that, it's strange that I have never seen that and everyone else is.

                    I haven't had this issue this year's game either. It has happened to me in previous years.

                      Do /9 stats matter in MoM games or is it strictly just simulated games?

                          Is there by chance a guide that is in the works for MOM? I've picked over the basics of the thread and got some good info, but was wondering if there's something like the Franchise guide that was put out

                              Yeah I think so too. I'm interested in this mode, but I really don't know enough strategy to play effectively. I end up just letting them do whatever lol. It'd be cool to get an idea of what kind of pitches to call while setting up the infield for a double play, ect.

                                Ok... I took the plunge today, bought the PS3 system today, bought the game so I can play MoM ... but...
                                maybe it's because it's after 2 am, but how do I set up a mange mode game? I started a franchise, but I don't see the option for playing it that way in gameplay options in user settings.
                                I'm clearly missing it somewhere.
