Fictional or Real Life Franchises?

[blackhawksfan4ever19]

Simple question. Which do you prefer and why?

Let's expand our choices: Do you prefer, Real Life Franchises, Fictional OR Classic seasons?

I'm interested in how many players actually make franchises with some awesome fictional rosters out there?!

C'mon guys lets hear what franchises you roll with.

I like fictional franchises. I get too attached to real players and statistics and find I can have more fun with a roster that isn’t real. Not being concerned with outcomes I see as unrealistic and such.

Interesting argument. What roster would you suggest to give it a try ?

TC> as far as fictional rosters go for Show 22 I suggest Sluggbugg's and ZANNS fictional rosters.

For Show 20 I suggest Bacon's and IBU's.

I'm making franchises for each of them. I currently have 15 franchises I can use . LOL

Fictional all the way. I just enjoy having a clean slate and not having a preexisting opinion on players.

my reasoning is because like others have said. If I don't know the players, the CPU teams make trades and they don't affect me (I'll check to make sure their fair) but it doesn't bother me JOHN SMITH went to the Phillies from NEW YORK YANKEES.

When you KNOW the players (IRL) you worry about trades, you try to make IRL trades and waivers like your franchise (frustrating trying to keep up).

Besides I made uniforms and assigned teams stadiums for each fictional franchise .

Retro only for me... something I've never done that I always wanted to do was play through the 90s or 00s and see how history would look if Chipper, Jeter, A-Rod... Mauer, Prior, Verlander ect had started their careers elsewhere.

Always play fictional with new cities, uniforms and players. Sometimes I use a pre-made fictional roster from here if one is ready when I want to start a franchise. Otherwise I sim 20 years to get all new players to do a draft.

I do the same with Madden and NBA 2k. For me, I just have too many expectations of present day teams / players. For instance, if I were to have played a franchise with the current day Braves I would expect to win every series. If I were to use the Royals I would expect to lose every series. If that didn't happen then I would think something is flawed.

So with fictional I pick a team, do a draft of fictional players, and have no expectations. Lot more fun that way for me.
