Do you guys play franchise with "your" team?

[Bullit]

I have been playing my Nationals franchise and getting a little frustrated and bored them. I watch every game on TV and am constantly reading news and info about them. I am thinking I just am getting over saturated playing them in The Show as well. So that got me to wondering what other folks did. So I would appreciate some responses on what you guys do.

I am currently playing with my Cubs. I did last year as well and really enjoyed it, but that's when the Cubs were terrible. They're a little better this year, so it's not quite as fun, but I'm still enjoying it.

If/when I win the WS in my franchise, I'll probably continue on with another team.

I play with the Braves, but I definitely get that feeling of over saturation. But I almost feel like I'm cheating if I take another team.

I started with the default roster, so the Braves in my dynasty are pretty different from the real-life Braves at this point.

Mets, always the Mets and no one else.

I always play as my Cubs. I used to play the current season making only the moves the real life team makes. I would usually get 2 season in for each Show installment and the last couple of years I was kind of bored and missed the rookies and players I had acquired in my previous franchise so carryover saves has been a blessing. I'm in 2016 of my Show 14 franchise and really loving the mix of real Cubs and my Cubs. It seems to keep me fresh form information overload.

I always play with my Braves, and have never really thought about playing with another team. I'm in 2017 in my franchise that I started with last years version, and play every game using quick counts. The game to me still feels brand new and fresh to me this year. Normally I'm gearing up for Madden by this time of year, and I have it pre-ordered, but don't see myself putting the show down this year. I FRIGGING LOVE THIS GAME!!!

I usually use the Royals. Last couple years though I've started franchises with other teams now that we are actually good. Milwaukee is my team this year.

I always play as the Cardinals. I could never imagine playing as a different team. Between playing all 162 of their games plus Spring Training, and playing a good deal of minor league games, I couldn't imagine having time to play as a different team.

I play with the M's mostly, but the last couple years I have had a secondary franchise going with an NL team also. Last year it was the Nats and this year it's with the Pirates. I like the ballpark in Pitt, plus I get to play in some stadiums that the M's don't normally play in. I get kind of tired of playing in the AL west stadiums.

Playing using the Jays but I ran into this problem. Last week I was talking to a friend at work about the Jays.

Him:"Did you see that game last night?"

Me:"Ya great win. Did you see that 2 run dinger by Bautista to win the game?"

Him:"Huh, I thought they lost last night?"

Me:" Ummm....oh yeah..."

guess I'm getting too old, can't remember video game or real life

I've played a franchise with my Cubs inn every version of The Show since I started playing the game in 2008. I also used the Cubs in previous MLB games, going back to Ken Griffey Jr Baseball on the SNES (which I believe was the first franchise based MLB game I had).

I will sometimes use the Mariners for a "super team" season, just to have fun, but I never get that deep into it.

Re: Do you guys play franchise with "your" team?

The only sports game that I use my team on is FIFA. The Cardinals are my baseball team, but I'm attached to the players in real life and I just wouldn't want to make roster decisions for them. Mike Trout is my favorite player, so I've been using the Angels and really enjoying it. I'm also considering doing a Phillies rebuild. Always had a soft spot for them. Only problem there is that I know Ryan Howard through a friend that played college ball with him and I might have to trade him away to rebuild. Lol!
