I'm having a blast in manage only mode. My Cardinals are only 33-35 ,and about 13 behind the dreaded Cubs, and 9 behind Houston, but my team has been decimated by injuries. Edmonds,Renteria, and Sanders have all spent considerable time on the DL, and Sanders is on the 60 day with a "broken finger". The emotions are real in this game. I've made several trades, and roster moves and its all good. The nitpicking would consist of my team stiking out a few too many times, and my pitchers not striking out many, but overall the best manage only experience I've ever encountered.

I've settled on random counts, and the strikeouts for my pitchers have improved. I prefer it to smart counts, or the 2-0,which I used quite a bit.

Pujols is hitting .350 with 16 homers and 53 rbi's. I drag bunt quite a bit with Womack. Renteria having a big year (8hrs,32 rbis,.334 avg) Rolen striking out a ton (about 70) but hitting over .300 with 12 hr. Great game.

No editing. The game is playing pretty well as is, imo. You get more realistic stats using the behind the pitcher mode.

Wow, so you get more realistic stats depending on what view you use?

Re: manage only player

It seems to be ,that when you play with the behind the pitcher view, the offense is built in to be more productive. Perhaps knowing that most manage only players might prefer that view, while playing the game would lean more to having the behind the batter, especially on offense. Just a thought , but I played a manage only game with the classic ,behind the batter view ,and the results amounted to less offense. Not much of a sample, just an impression.
