How much time does Baseball Manager take?
It’s up to you. Most managers log on every day to see how their teams fared. Some managers enjoy studying every screen every day. Some are satisfied just setting up lineups and adjusting pitching rotations every few days. Most do a little of everything. BBM will handle things for you if you do not login to play. The game will select starting pitchers, field a full team, and automatically fill out your lineups. (Careful: many a manager has returned from a week-long vacation away from his team to find his team playing better than when he was actively managing it!) To keep the time issue in perspective, realize that historically, the average player only spent about 4 hours per month per team on Baseball Manager (both Ultimate and Lightning). That’s a rather small amount of time for the intense managerial experience this game provides.
