So you're just the manager? You let the cpu handle the scouting, drafting, and all of the other GM duties? I have thought about trying that. I'm doing a Boston Red Sox franchise.

Kind of a long shot, but is there any way to turn off the runner windows? I'm purely watching rather than intervening and find the runner windows kinda irritating.

There is an option in settings for runner windows.

Yeah. I’ve done it where you handle everything and I’m enjoying just the managing aspect. Still check out the trade block and the free agent lists and the scouting, hoping the cpu gm will help me out a little. Being a Cardinals fan, I think I know how Mike Schilt feels.

I do allow my manager to “ lobby” the front office on roster moves occasionally. Recently sent down Jordan Hicks( one of the few “ real” Cardinals on the team) to the minors. He was getting lit up. He’s saved 2 straight at AAA, so I might have to “ lobby” again soon.

I'm curious what umpire setting others use in manage mode.

I normally use perfect and see lower than MLB IRL scores. When I use average I see higher than MLB IRL scores. I don't adjust sliders.

On ps4, I use the random or whatever. They make me furious at times but they’re human and make mistakes. I’ve only adjusted the errors, because my team had only committed 2 in 28 games so I bumped them up to 6.
