- Manager Mode - You pick a team and act as the field manager making game decisions while the AI handles the GM role.
- GM Mode - You pick a team and act as the GM letting the AI run game decisions.
- Commissioner Mode - Let the AI run the decisions but you have the ability to jump in and act in god mode as desired.
You certainly don't need console level graphics but I do agree that having better 2D or basic 3D animations along with better sounds would be a huge addition in attracting a wider audience.
The key here would be that this should have NO impact on the game for us hard core users. While the hand-holding and stripped down interface would make us lifers laugh in hysterics, it could be huge in adding more users who would eventually get curious about the more complex capabilities of the game.

but it will have an impact because rather than continuing to enhance the game, the focus will now be on ways to "dumb it down" for novice users.
