How to avoid being overwhelmed
I love the concepts of OOTP, but have had this problem when I've tried to play: being so overwhelmed by options, deadlines, and events that I am allowing entirely too much control to the AI. Making good decisions, and showing patience with my development is hard when I see the plethora of available options and massive amounts of data in front of me. As a result, I time to blow past Spring training to my detriment.
I come in with a background in the "coaching sim", where your authority most of the time is limited to managing individual games. Often salaries are not involved in multi-player, and other times they are abstracted, but the game itself does not revolve around teambuilding and financial management.
When you guys were new players,how did you can control over all the options?
