what kind of options do you not have as noob with the basic roster management?

Basic roster management requires that every roster move you make be done one at a time, usually involving multiple mouse clicks and multiple page loads.  The "theory" behind it being that each page load has detailed information on what you're doing, and gives you multiple opportunities to confirm each action.

Advanced roster management (the option you get once you have three completed seasons under your belt) allows you to group multiple moves together at once with fewer mouse clicks and fewer page loads.  In short, it cuts out all the intermediate B.S. and confirmations.

So it doesn't really give you anything more than ease of use.  It also assumes that, since you have some experience, you're not going to make n00b mistakes with your transactions.

Once your team is set-up, you won't need to make that many roster moves.   Activate/de-active players, if you micro-manage your minors, will frustrate you.   Other than that, it's not so bad.
