Howdy kids,
I'm not usually one to get easily frustrated, but I must admit, with job, kids, etc I just don't have time to learn all I can about the game/demo.
I have downloaded the demo, imported Cubby/Rolen and have started playing as my beloved St Louis Cardinals.
Questions (and if they have been covered before, as I'm sure they probably have, please direct me to link) are many:
I guess I don't get the whole "Universe" aspect of the Sim. I want to control the Cards--both manage and act as the GM. However when I make a trade, the AI immediately readjusts my 40 man roster, calls up players, releases players (ARRGH!), waives players, etc.
I set up myself as the GM (did I fire Bud Selig, was he the original GM?). It says "Act as St Louis" under my name on the main screen. Why? Should it just say "St Louis" ??
I also set myself up to make all roster changes, player moves, etc., in the Manager Section but AI continues to readjust things after I make my changes.
I am in Commissioner Mode if that matters.
Should I adjust anything in the "Other Functions" from League Setup page?
I will readily admit I have not read one bit of the manual, but hell, I'm a guy and we don't need no stinkin manual.
Seriously, I plan on printing both the manual and any mod instructions to take to work and read when I can, but too busy lately. I've always been able to just jump in and figure OOTP baseball games out in the past, so I'm more than a little frustrated right now.
I can tell the potential of this game is amazing and I want to enjoy to the fullest, but my inability to make a roster move without having the AI change things, adjust my 25 man roster, etc., is making me nuts!
Thanks,
GC
