When I'm in Franchise mode and go into "Play Next Game" and select Quick Manage, my controllers are mixed up. I have just one XBox controller and it has always been P1. The screen shows P1 and P2 in the middle between the two team logos. Usually, I can move P1 over to my team and press the A button to go to the next screen. However, it is only letting me move the P2 over but when I do that, I am only controlling the other team and it won't let me manage my team. I have tried restarting the XBox and resetting the controller to no avail.

The option to change the camera angle is there and lets you change it but it doesn’t actually apply the settings.

@passengerescobar said in Manager only play:

@Dave-Kellogg It is possible. But it’s not playable at the moment because the camera settings are not changeable like in years past. You’re stuck staring at the umpire’s [censored]. One can change the camera angle however it does not stay to what you set it at. It’s unplayable at the moment

I actually figured it out. I’ve noticed as well you can’t change the camera settings. But it’s from behind and to one side of the umpire depending on what side the batter is hitting.

I hope they are working on a fix.

Is it possible to only manage a team and not have to control the hitting, pitching, fielding, etc. I want to play entire games but only be the manager, i.e. make the lineup, decide on pitching substitutions, pinch hitters, warm up pitchers in the bullpen, etc. I’m new to the game with The Show 24 so I don’t even know if this is possible.
