Hello all and thank you for your replies.

I already browsed the dynasty forum, the Rays - which I picked - are not overly represented there it seems. I found two threads there yet, however these are from 2014 and I assume these were written for OOTP 15? I will try to build on them nevertheless. Do you know of any newbie-friendly threads, no matter which team?

Financials.. right. I will turn them off. My first two attempts to get an additional pitcher and a 2B failed because of some budget limitations, so I am more than happy to turn that off.

I started with the Standard Game, picked the Rays (because I watched them at Tropicana Field, that's all) and waited to load and to be overwhelmed by options and menues. Worked so far. ;-)

Reading. Yes, that's what I did and what I do. Some F1-help pages seem to not exist however? Anyway, I am reading through the manual and have Wikipedia in the background. At least I am getting into baseball slowly but steadily.
The Wiki... I briefly had a look at it but honestly I did not find it that helpful for newbies like me. Will dig deeper the next time.

I am surprised to not find fan-pages for OOTP to help get into the game, at least I did not find any.

Thank you again. Happy to hear (and see) that there is a board filled with baseball-pros willing to share their knowledge.
