Coaches in sandbox mode

So how do you actually hire and fire the team staff? I noticed these options are greyed out.

the team needs to be on human, and not CPU for you to hire/fire staff.

hiring and firing can only occur during the staffsigning phase.

Shouldn't we be allowed to fire a coach mid-season, though?

Actually, I found a ton of issues [if you don't remember] and they were all fixed, which is great. But coaches were essentially turned off for the most part and in the last two weeks leading up to release I was unable to play test because of issues with real life. So I'm sorry if coaches were turned on when I was unable to participate. Not only that, but I'm sure others have an issue with this but hardly anyone else play testing brought up issues... There was only a few of us in total that were mentioning things on the bitbucket.

I actually am on the staff signing phase with all the teams in the league under human control. All the buttons for coaches are still greyed out. Even after progressing through both weeks I wasn't able to make any staff changes.

I'm not sure this is available in sandbox because you actually have to log into a team. We can look into it, but if you want to "Play" the game and all of the phases you probably need to be in Career mode or Online mode.

Could we please have this added in sandbox? It makes having coaches in the game totally meaningless otherwise.

Again, sandbox mode is for setting up scenarios and for running weeks and seasons at a time for multiple teams. It's not the greatest mode to be hiring, firing, scouting, etc. Those all require an "owner" to get the best experience.
