Don't know if this should go in this section, but managers need to be intelligent with their strategies.

Right now you hire a manager and ask him to set your ingame strategies. He believes in stealing bases so his strategies for the game is to steal like a mad crazy person... all the time. Doesn't matter if it's the 9th inning down by 1 run or if it's the first inning up by 50... he just has runners going like there's no tomorrow. In other words every slider is set the same for every situation. This results in stupidity. If the manager believes in letting his pitcher work out of trouble he sets the slider as such, it'll be the same if he's up by 10 in the 5th or if he's up by 1 in the bottom of the 9th.... that doesn't work.

I don't expect that it would be in depth and exactly what I expect (or what I would do)... but seeing that he does acknowledge that there's a difference between the two situations is important.
