I also didn't expect the AI to automatically fill my coaching vacancy, which it did, with someone I didn't choose.

"In order to prevent stockpiling of the best coaches, only one coach can be hired per calendar day." B. If you fire a coach (without a replacement) in Hardwood, a random guy is selected so you dont have a vacancy. Not sure it should be that way if you replace a guy with a guy

If you promote a coach to manager, it will automatically assign a coach to your staff. But you can replace him immediately. It's just to prevent teams from not having enough coaches.

Thanks...it's removed now. Steve

I can't stand the choices the AI is making. I signed Coach A to replace Coach B as Pitching Coach, I did NOT want my Hitting Coach fired and Coach B signed as my Hitting Coach. My whole coaching assignments are screwed up now, and not the way I would want them. Love the idea, but dont like the implementation. Just let us assign the roles we want coaches hired into and let us swap coaches into different roles without having to fire them.

Vann I was not really pleased with after a year. As advertised, didnt see much affect on SI gain. More than half the NP had the average 3-4 SI gain and he was below 10 in offense, defense, and of course fielding (negative comment there). So grabbing Burgess, even younger than Vann, after being dropped by Farmington Hills, was great. I also replaced Cooper, who I wouldnt have kept anyway, with Montes (who was shuffled into another role). So I await being able to assign guys to jobs, as I wouldnt risk losing a good coach to this silliness. The 1B/3B coaches need only slight upgrades. Going off the manual, they needs to be be good at teaching the game. They have some deficiencies so they will stay unless I can find another one who is good+ at teaching the game with less deficiencies.

Some here have said when they hire a new coach the new coach becomes their hitting coach. My hitting coach is at 11 managing hitters, and when I hire a new coach that new coach becomes my pitching coach and the rest of my coaches move down to the next position. I believe this is because the stats are 10 across the board for each of the other coaches. Perhaps when the coaches stats start to change their roles will as well.

Gomer Pyle Joined: 06/27/2024 Posts: 3 Dunwoody Demons IV.5	I just had an issue where I signed a new pitching coach and it fired my manager and gave me a different pitching coach than the one I signed. I signed Lucas Kyle [#8111] https://brokenbat.org/manager/8111, to be my new pitching coach. When I did that it instead replaced my manager,Jamal Albertson [#9792] https://brokenbat.org/manager/9792 At the same time it gave me a new,random pitching coach, Sammy Pavone [#4577] who really sucks. https://brokenbat.org/coach/4577 I was able to immediately resign Jamal Anderson as my manager replacing Lucas Kyle. However, I can't resign Kyle to replace Pavone until tomorrow because of the daily limit on coach hires. As long as no one signs Kyle before I can and I don't have the same problem tomorrow everything will work out. Just want to make someone aware of the problem and potentially see if there anything that can be done to assign Lucas Kyle as my pitching coach before someone else hires him. Thank you
