Hey Guys,

So, I've finally made the switch from The Show (which I just don't have time for anymore) to OOTP, and I'm mad at myself that I didn't get into this game sooner. I'm completely addicted. But, there's so much awesomeness to it that I feel like I'm probably missing stuff. Here's some random questions I have - any help or guidance would be appreciated! Thank you in advance.

1) When playing GM Only, is simming one day at a time the best way to go?

2) Is there an injury slider? I'd like to tone them down just a touch, but can't seem to find one anywhere.

3) Is there an easy way to get player pictures in the game? I was able to get the updated rosters via Add-On Central, but I'm not very savvy when it comes to mods or anything like that so I wasn't sure how pictures worked.

4) In my first season that I pretty much simmed through quickly just to get a feel for everything, Sale ended up with an ERA close to 4.00. Are stats like that an anomaly, or does that happen often with star players?

5) How do you handle the draft? Do you personally select every player, use your Scouting Director recommendations, or a mix of both?

6) It seems like every rating, every metric, every trait seems to actually matter, and isn't just for show. Is that correct for the most part?

7) What are the most common uses of shortlists? I had one for guys in my own minor league system that I wanted to track, and trade targets from opposing teams minor league systems.

8) I'd love to get some tips on managing my balance sheet. Are there any certain areas I really need to focus in on?

9) How strict do you have to follow the goals that the owner provides? If Shark has a terrible year and Reindsdorf wants me to re-sign him, can I get away with trading him or letting him walk? Does that put me on his radar to get canned if I do?

Any other tips or suggestions, especially for GM Only, would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to getting more involved with both the game and the OOTP community.

Thanks!
