2024 Regular Season SIM 5 Complete - Next SIM Friday 11/24

The lack of personnel is disturbing. We got screwed when our manager and bench coach left. Everyone else has Legendary coaches...we have Unproven and Fair with nothing else to choose from.

I noticed this too. When looking to make a change, I see that some organizations have better coaches at A than I do at AAA or BLB levels.
I've seen some of my coaches go from unproven to Fair and Decent, so I"m hoping they continue to develop.
I wonder if the Development budget also affects coaches/managers?

BTW, will coaches in lower levels, who have great reputations, demand to move up the ranks, or even refuse to re-sign if they're kept at the bottom?

Yes they will reject your offer if they don't want to be in A ball.

Also, they can refuse a demotion.

Thanks Carlos.
All my coaches are ecstatic about their employer so I've never run into that issue before.

I hate this. I also got screwed when my Legendary hitting coach left. I cant make any moves with some of these guys because there is nothing to replace them with.

I was under the impression that reputation isn't necessarily an accurate description of ability. It simply describes how good the teams he coached are. Is that not the case?

Same here. We all keep our best coaches for decades. Younger good coaches don’t really get much of a chance to build a rep.

I don't really see the problem. Someone who is unproven is not necessarily bad. It just means they haven't built their reputation yet. When choosing someone with little reputation, I look to see what the text says about them and how they stack up when it comes to relationships.

Agreed. I do the same. I was just pointing out why there aren’t guys with high reps in the pool.

I can see your point here. I guess id like to hire a guy with a good track record rather than going for a guy with no rep.

I completely agree. It's been like that for a few years. I'm thinking that is why some of my guys don't develop the way I'd like. A bunch of crappy minor league coaches and no real way to replace them.

Sure, most people would. Like Delandis said, that's why most guys with good track records are already employed!

If you look at the coach you can get a glimpse on how your players respond to him before signing him. Also (not sure if its helps) lately I've looked for coaches with relative low exp but development of "excellent" and or "outstanding". Maybe these coaches just need a chance. Plenty of good coaches out there but seem to be poor at development.

Plus funclown is cheap.

The reputation of coaches is based directly with the results obtained by the teams that they were with. Nothing related with how they develop players, at least not yet. Same with the Scout ratings.

They won't be better just because they have an excellent reputation. They are what they are, but we can't see the ratings no more, we have to guess them by the description of them.

Where is that development thing that you are saying?

Case in point check out Pat(AA). I'm not into won-loss records in the minors to be honest.
