In the game manual it says come here to the website and you can download a more in depth game manual, but there's is nothing posted yet. Any ETA on this?

I sure could use some extra advice on options, arbitration, the rule 5 draft process, etc.. Hopefully, that's what the bonus manual contains.

so the game itself doesn't give good advice on some of that stuff? i think i will need help on the arbitration process. i understand it a little but help would be nice.

u get emails from virtual billy tellin u about things. they will help you some, but if you dont understand those things at all then prob not. I already had good knowledge of most of these rules but i just noticed in the game manual that it said come here to the downloads section for a more indepth manual.

This game is such a major disappointment if you are a PC gamer. No support, no manual, no hope.

An admin posted yesterday in a couple threads that he is waiting for the higher up guys to pass the manual down so it can be posted. He said it'd be posted in a few.

They are probably not huge baseball fans that know everything about it, and need help with how things work.

Ok mr click. How do you click someone to waivers? how do you lock your 40 man roster for rule 5? how do you sort your depth chart (right now my rf starter is #5 on the depth chart). How do I take someone off the depth chart when they have no skill for that position but the program defaults them there? Need I go on?

Thanks for the info. Looking forward to the manual that can be downloaded from MLB FOM website.

For me its look like that starter in depth chart is the one who i choosed in batting lineups.

What do you expect him to do? It isn't up to him to "fix" the game. And the vague of "soon" is because that's all he knows. He's probably waiting on either permission to release it, or he's waiting on them to pass it on so it can be put up.

I understand people are mad about the poor product, but there are so many people complaining (myself included at first). I really don't think they will fix any of the big issues apart from bugs. They aren't going to re-do the whole game to satisfy people, so we should just give that up.

I didn't drop by. I am working on getting and providing solutions for you. The expanded manual must go through the proper approvals. The guys are working as quickly as possible to make this happen.

The main manual is in the game. We are releasing an expanded manual for those who want to get deeper in the game.

Get deeper in the game - Does that translate into play the game for it's intended purpose ?

So that little like 12 page manual that came with the game is the MAIN manual. What a joke that is. Doesn't tell you anything about game play. Getting deeper into the game. You mean like actually being able to play it? I can't figure out how to put someone on waivers without releasing them outright. I can't seem to order my depth chart without swapping people that are not in the postion then back again. Just these 2 small things are really big for game play, and they are not in that "main manual".

Thank you Admin Ron for the effort you are putting forth. I think alot of people are frustrated even more so since there has been no communication from the 2k people.

Thanks for having them work so hard on getting a manual, but there are plenty of bug fixes they should be working on first. Releasing the "deeper manual" will not fix any of the issues of game play that the majority of people who purchased the game are frustrated with.

Hi Ron,
Love the game, and was wondering what the ETA would be for the expanded manual? I think a lot of things that people think are "bugs" would be cleared up for those things that were by design. I'm just an analyst by nature and looking for more indepth insights.
Thanks!
