wil_m Joined: 01/08/2016 Posts: 248 Inactive | Hey everyone. Looking at the new managers and I hired one of the two managers listed below. But it was a hard choice. Which one looks better? #1 "He is good at managing hitters. He is below average at coaching defense. He is above average at handling pitchers. He is excellent at teaching the game." or #2 "He is above average at managing hitters. He is above average at coaching defense. He is above average at handling pitchers. He is a good teacher of the game." I went with #2 since he had no negatives and all positives. What do you think? Do you think I made the right choice? How much can below average in coaching defense hurt you from a manager? Thanks |

That said, in my opinion, having an "excellent at teaching the game" is the top priority, because it will maximize the skill growth of your young players.

wil_m Joined: 01/08/2016 Posts: 248 Inactive | Yes, Good point. I just got a another manager that while only having 3 positive traits - did have "excellent in teaching the game" - and no negatives listed. May continue to make changes as I think about it |

amalric7 Joined: 01/20/2016 Posts: 2235 New York Lancers IV.2 | My first manager was above average/below average/above average/excellent. I won my division in my rookie season, but looked for an upgrade. My manager the last two seasons was above average/good/no pitching report/good, which was technically better. Results weren't great but not bad either, and I didn't notice any difference in training - whether that was because I had better youngsters or because there was little difference between the excellent and the good teaching I don't know. In any case, after missing out on the last batch of new managers because they came online while I was driving home from work (I kid you not), I was able to get one of the top ones from today's long list. Martinez is above average/good/above average/excellent, which is hard to top. Here's hoping he lives up to it. |

amalric7 Joined: 01/20/2016 Posts: 2235 New York Lancers IV.2 | There's no set number on new managers either. Prior to the 2028 season I think there were only 40 new managers made available, while this past off-season there were something like 160 additional new managers. The last manager in the list is here, ID# 2680. The next batch, next offseason will start at #2681, so if you know how to use your web address bar you can start searching from there. |
