Some thoughts on GM vs. Manager

First of all, I've only been tinkering with the game for a few hours and WOW.. So far I LOVE it. I do have some thoughts on the GM vs Manager feature..

I think its a really neat option to maybe start your career as a manager and build a rep and be a GM for example, or to GM a team and let a manager take control of the on the field decisions. That said, I feel like I'm missing a little something..

The GM/Manager combo role is pretty rare to non-existent in baseball today, but personally i've always liked managing each and every game. I always felt like having a manager there made for some nice story line features so it would be nice if there was a "traditional" setting that let you fulfill both roles and still hire a manager like previous versions.

Also, I have not yet seen this happen so it MIGHT be possible, but it would be great if I was a GM if there was a way that I could communicate and interact with my Manger to do things like tell them to play one player over another since I am responsible for bringing players into the mix. Conversely it would be awesome if my "tempermental" Manager would come to me and say "This catcher isnt cutting it. It would be helpful if you brought in somebody new" or "Although you called this kid up from the minors I dont think he's ready for the bigs yet" based on their performance and the manager's preferences.

Lastly the one thing that is missing for me again with coaching staff especially with the possibility of coming completely "off the field" unlike past years is the hiring of 1st base and 3rd base coaches. It would be great if eventually those were available and if they would have some impact on whether or not players are sent, or serving to slightly modify base stealing ability..

Like I said, just some thoughts.. Otherwise this game is friggin BEAUTIFUL!!! Thanks, Markus et all.
