How It Works
The opening setup determines how much of the organization you control directly and how much is delegated to the CPU.
A first save is easier to understand when automation is used selectively. Automating everything hides the cause of results, while controlling everything can overwhelm a new manager.
Choose a club for the type of challenge you want: immediate contention, a balanced organization, or a longer reconstruction.
Manager Priorities
- Keep roster, training, and acquisition decisions under manual control while learning.
- Change one automation setting at a time so its effect remains visible.
- Treat the first season as an organizational audit, not a demand for perfect results.
Common Management Mistake
Selecting every manual option immediately can turn learning the mode into menu maintenance.
