I am new to OOTP and new to computer-based sim game. (I did Stat-O-Matic board game many years ago!). I am reading through the manual before starting a game.

I am reading about creating a Human Manager for any OOTP game. And it said you have to be hired by teams looking for a manager. I assume this is relative to whatever league you are entering. (I am not going to play online to start). I was hoping I could choose the team I wanted to manage. Can you do this?

A separate question- if I just want to try out playing one practice game (not season as a game seems to refer to for OOTP- but just try playing Giants vs. Dodgers in one game before I initiate a season...can you do that?

Thanks for helping me get started.
