OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - A couple of questions about "Manager Only" mode

I'm trying this mode out for the first time:

1) If the owner expects me to reach the playoffs and the AI GM doesn't make any player moves, am I still going to get fired even if the team over-performs?

2) is there any way to get a notice when the AI GM moves someone from the reserve roster to the active roster (something I can't control)? This one is really annoying because I'll suddenly find out that my reserve infielder has been demoted and replaced with someone else so I need to update my depth charts which still show the old guy.

Also, it seems that if you want to start a "Manager Only" game with spring training in your first season, you have to set it to "Manager & GM" or else Spring Training is skipped.

3) Also, why are players asking me to make a donation for the team? I'm just the manager.

4) Another one: If I set a player to "Untouchable" on the trade menu (I can do that for some reason), will it prevent the GM from trading away the player?
