The old legacy skills like (Aggressive, Patience, Activity) will be deprecated and the new performance-bonus skills will be active (Offense, Defense, Pitching & Player Development). Note, there is some uncertainty when judging the skill levels with untested managers. Steve

When I try to narrow the search in any way the search result comes up blank. Are there new mgrs or not and will any of them have attributes higher than 10?

New ones are all with 10 points per skill but a new description. without filter possibility it's not easy to find a new manager that fits, i have scrolled about 100 managers and i chose the better one, but i don't know if skill points will be changed

The filters aren't much help right now, so it's basically what 500 managers the search happens to give you and how long your eyes can stand looking through them. I think I'm content with the guy I hired for now. We'll see how he develops.

Favuz Joined: 02/26/2014 Posts: 639 Oxnard Sunsets IV.3	I've hired a manager with yours same description, so i think mine should be good. Don't know if I like the old school way of scrolling a lot of names to find what i need

BTW, I looked at all 500 of mine, and I didn't see any better than those. Eyes are too tired to look at more though. Updated Sunday, August 23 2015 @ 10:30:29 am PDT

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9603 Haverhill Halflings III.1	Richmond Aces found a gem! BTW, there are at least two managers still unsigned with the scout report of: Good Hitting Above Average Fielding Above Average Pitching Excellent Teaching Updated Sunday, August 23 2015 @ 11:39:12 am PDT

mcrmoe Joined: 09/24/2014 Posts: 290 Inactive	Found an awesome one yesterday. Guess that means I'll have no luck with waivers or draft this year...

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9603 Haverhill Halflings III.1	Wow! That guy looks like he's 20s across the board... These managers were available yesterday? It would have been nice for Steve to tell us when the managers were up

mcrmoe Joined: 09/24/2014 Posts: 290 Inactive	Sorry "yesterday" was right at 2:00 am server time, Im still on an owl sleeping schedule. So any idea how the manager's stats will change?

#22881	08/23/2015 1:34:43 pm
Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9603 Haverhill Halflings III.1	I checked after 2:00 but I didn't think there were new managers because everyone showed up as 10s... BTW, for folks who logged in too late to get a good manager, here are a few decent guys from my shortlist who still aren't signed: Elvis Kane EDIT: Removing signed managers.

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9603 Haverhill Halflings III.1	So any idea how the manager's stats will change? I'm pretty sure that as the managers play more games (get more experience) those ratings will move away from 10. Presumably towards their scouted skills.

toddcates Joined: 08/02/2015 Posts: 81 Baytown Bombers VI.20	I've clicked sign on an available manager 4 times and nothing changes. What the hell?

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9603 Haverhill Halflings III.1	Stop clicking! You already have a better manager than anything that is available.

lephio Joined: 10/25/2013 Posts: 88 Inactive	are the new manager finished? i can't find anyone free! everyone i click has "none" scouting

Haselrig Joined: 04/13/2014 Posts: 2790 Novi Doubledays III.4	Try sorting them by experience lephio. Anyone with "0" experience should be a new manager.

Crazy Li Joined: 01/25/2015 Posts: 879 Inactive	I'm actually having the same problem of the sign button doing nothing now. Am I locked in to the first guy I grabbed?

admin Joined: 01/27/2010 Posts: 4985 Administrator	No...you shouldn't be. It looks like you were able to sign Sean Pratt...where you trying to sign somebody else after him? • Jan 20 2024: Sean Pratt was hired as the new manager. • Jan 20 2024: Brent Bush was fired as manager. Thanks, Steve Updated Monday, August 24 2015 @ 4:39:43 pm PDT

Crazy Li Joined: 01/25/2015 Posts: 879 Inactive	Yes, I found an option that had a more favorable scouting report and was attempting to sign him but clicking the button didn't do anything. Said manager is no longer available now (but I double-checked after clicking the sign button and he was still listed as "Available" as of making the previous post) so I guess it's moot now. I'll stick with what I have for now and see how he pans out until I come to understand the new system.

admin Joined: 01/27/2010 Posts: 4985 Administrator	Is he still listed as available and you can't sign him? If so, please mail me the name/number. Thanks, Steve

afreespirit Joined: 09/17/2011 Posts: 305 Inactive	Mark Barrett- good offensive manager and trainer. Cory Koch- good at rebuilding a team. Lee Pope- good defensive manager and trainer. Fernando Porras- better than average manager.

#23004	08/24/2015 9:51:16 pm
Crazy Li Joined: 01/25/2015 Posts: 879 Inactive	no, Steve. He's no longer available. I said he was still available when I first posted that I couldn't sign him (which I checked on after hitting the button and have it seemingly do nothing). Seeing him still listed as available confirmed he wasn't mine. By the time I got home from work and looked him up again to respond to you, he was already with another team. That's why I said I'll just see how the one I got pans out and observe the manager system.
