Couple Quick Questions

[centryx]

Hi guys just got the game and seems pretty good to me. I was wondering a couple of things.

I like to play as a GM and have control of the roster (mostly 40 man and active), is there a way to set it where the computer/ AI manages the promotions and demotions of guys up to AAA?

I also want to sign up to play an online league but am wondering which functions I should really explore most before jumping into a league unprepared, ie what do most people here let the AI do and the essential stuff that should be done by the team owner himself?

thanks in advance excited to get going fully into this game

I don't play online, so someone else will have to answer that question for you. But, to your first question, it's very simple. Just go to your Manager Options (Manager Menu -> Manager Options) and on the right-hand side will be options for choosing what the AI controls. I play exactly how you say you want to (letting the AI control the minors), so I have all three options that start with "Minor League" set to be controlled by the AI.

Not sure what you are asking. If you want to control AAA and the AI controls the rest of the minors the answer is no.
If you want AI to control all minors and you control ML then yes.
