Yeah it can be, I'd prefer a GM mode though honestly. Basically you put your team together and let it play out on the field. I haven't done it much this year but I spent a lot of time last year doing MOM only. You can get more realistic stats because the human element is taken out of play. You have to play matchups and know when to ride hot streaks, you almost root for injuries just to see how you can make adjustments to your roster.

I think playing vs the CPU is more rewarding but MOM is fun too. This year though it just seems the mode is broken so that's why I'm not doing it. The CPU takes over too much so you might as well just watch the CPU vs CPU.

Manager mode is superb, but they need to put in an option to let the game autoplay so you don't have to hit the circle button or wait 6 seconds for play to start....that way when you want to micromanage you can, but when you don't the game will move a bit faster...i like to eat sometimes in manager mode!!!!! huh huh

Is there a manager mode online?that would be great and probably more realistic in many aspects

I love MOM. This the mode I play because I don't have the time or patience to control every aspect of these games. Swinging and pitching is too frustrating.

What I don't like in the Show is the limited amount of stats that carry over seasons in Franchise. Baseball is all about stats and it boggles my mind as to why MLB THE SHOW ignores how important stats are. Example: I would love to know how many stolen bases a guy had the previous year, or OBP or walks, or slugging.

Is there anyone else here who cares about stats? For me that puts a little damper on the MOM/GM mode.
