Re: Who will you play as in Franchise Mode?

Just sold my XB1 and game collection just to buy PS4 for this game. Can't wait to finally see this game on PS4. Been playing on PS3 since 07 but I couldn't hold out any longer.

Gonna be a great summer with my Red Sox Franchise!!!!!

Welcome to The Show!

I never realized there were 19 Canadians on OS ( and all in the Baseball thread?)

Same here! I'm so excited for my Mets franchise. This year I'm planning on playing all 162 for the first time mainly because it's going to be hard simming games that Harvey, deGrom, Syndergaard, Matz and (when healthy) Wheeler pitches.

I might also have a secondary franchise to simulate into the future, play with guys like DSmith, Herrera and Nimmo

So excited for this Mets team this year

Going to play with the Red Sox or the Dodgers, not sure which yet.

I'm sure there are more over in the NHL forums. No team unites us like the Jays though. Jeez even francophones cheer for the Jays.

Speaking of which, just used my credit from the postseason tickets to buy a 10 game flex pack in the infield 200s. Premium seats and I still get a cool $200 refund, which I will probably combine with my 20% off jays shop coupon to buy a jersey. Will wear it at the games and while playing my carry over Jays 'chise.

Go Jays Go!

Make that 20...but I'm planning to do a Padres franchise.

I love my Jays but I just can't play a franchise with them. I'm too emotionally attached to the team and get too frustrated with myself when I suck but it's fine if I ruin someone else's favorite team.

Took over the O's back in October, deleted game ready now for Spring Training.

Re: Who will you play as in Franchise Mode?

Well, one good thing can be said about OS'ers; not many band wagon jumpers. Only two Royals votes and that's following a championship year. I guess it really is more fun to build something from nothing than try ride coat tails.

Royals are my team, but I'd consider them even if I wasn't a fan. Trying to keep them competitive in the coming years is going to be a decent challenge.

I will be either going with my Hometown Royals or the Athletic's this year, I haven't decided. Going to play around with both teams in exhibition's at launch to see which virtual team I want to play and turn into a dynasty.

The only problem I have playing with my home team is that I am afraid to change too much because I love the team as is and I don't want to make them too unfamiliar.

With the A's, I won't be afraid the rip them down to the studs at the Deadline (if need be). I'd like to build the Franchise around the Pitching (like in the early 2000's with Zito, Hudson, Mulder)

With either team, I want to implement my Personal GM style of building up an utterly dominant pitching staff with an elite defense, and play offense built around speed and small-ball, drawing several walks a game and pushing runs across in any matter possible.

Re: Who will you play as in Franchise Mode?

I will probably play as Braves and either Astros or Cubs.

Re: Who will you play as in Franchise Mode?

I always franchise the Cubs and Yanks. I like to play a team in each MLB league to check out all the great baseball parks, batting stances, pitcher delivery etc.

This.

I do a Jays franchise every few years, but it bothers me when real life transactions happen and I can't replicate them in the game. Last season was a prime example...I couldn't fit Tulo and Price in my budget.

With other teams, that I'm not as emotionally tied to, these roster inaccuracies don't bother me as much.

Well, I don't know how this poll would have went in previous years but after all the press and predictions for the Cubs this offseason, choosing them could be seen as bandwagon jumping, especially if you have never chosen the Cubs before.

Re: Who will you play as in Franchise Mode?

I am actually thinking this through again. I really want to play a single team franchise this time around and let all the chips fall where they may (and be held to the GM goals) and I will test out the trade slider before I start by running some sims etc before I decide.

I am looking at some different teams:

Royals
Rays
Pirates
Cubs
Marlins
Astros
Rangers
Giants

If I wasn't doing an Orioles franchise. The Pirates would be my choice. PNC Park is beautiful.

Blue Jays, 2nd would be Cubs closely followed by my poor Rockies
