    If I get the show, I'll do the Blue Jays. They are fun because they are a good team to use, but the division requires them to be great to make the playoffs.

      The same team I always use, the Mariners. Looking forward to playing with a lot of the young talent. Might have to sim a bit more in my franchise this year though.

          Yeah, that will be interesting to see if more HRs are hit now that the fence has been brought in a little. Although, I have to say that the old dimensions saved me quite a few times as those long fly balls found my OF's gloves instead of a fan's.

          In a way I'm really looking forward to playing as the Mets this year. Yes, the lineup is the weakest it's been in a long time, but hey, at least I'll have a legit rebuilding project on my hands, and get to play as my favorite team. Plus, I don't have the financial restrictions that the real-life team does, so that's a bonus!

            I used them in MLB 09 and MLB 11 so i want to use a different team now. It will be a lot tougher not having Fielder behind Braun now. Whenever you had someone on base you knew you had two shots at getting them home with Braun and then Fielder. Now you got to make the most of Braun.

            I'm either going to use the Mariners or Padres this year. I never use AL teams and the Mariners are the only team i like in the AL. Just got their new 2012 Alt hat as well. Padres will be really hard to use though. They don't really have much.

              Typically I use the Pirates, but I often fall into the trap of wanting to have things as they are IRL. This often caused me to lose interest as the Pirates shuffle the roster, which they would do A LOT of in the past few years. Perhaps they'll be more stable this year since they have more established guys and most likely won't turn over half the roster by mid-summer. Because of this, I'm contemplating doing 30-team and more or less keeping up with what's happening in the real season. Then I'll have a single-team control franchise with a yet to be decided club that I'll just play for enjoyment.

              I did this with FIFA12; picked a team I had no rooting interest in and don't follow closely. I completed a season with no simming (40+ games) for the first time in a few years. It's been fun to make my own decisions and not worry about what the team is doing IRL. I'm sure many can relate.

                  After trying to decide which team to play that is not the garbage A's of 2012, I finally decided to do something I have not yet done on The Show series. I am going to use one of the many historical rosters out there and see how that goes. Perhaps the '89 A's. That must be how all of you Mets fans manage to get by each year, haha just kidding. Sort of

                    The Miami Marlins, for a plethora of obvious reasons.

                      Qb (sorry, having a brain cramp and am blanking on your name), I hear you loud and clear on this. I had a real tough time getting into a Mets franchise last year, just because of all the uncertaintly that surrounded the team. I knew irl there would be roster changes and once they happened, I couldn't deal with the fact that Beltran and K-Rod were still on my Mets roster in The Show. I had the same issues with using the Rockies (Ubaldo trade), but am actually playing a Franchise with them now, just to pass the time until MLB 12 gets here.

                      So, after going through that, I wound up choosing Seattle. I had been there on vacation a couple of years prior and was able to take in a Mariners game, so it was a team I knew, but definitely not one I had a real emotional connection to. I played through close to 100 games in my first year, and am now on Year 2. It really helped freshen the game up for me.

                      That's why I'm leaning towards using a team like the Orioles this year. It's much easier to make moves and not worry about the roster matching real life when you're not a fan of that club.

                      The 30-team control is a good idea, one that a few other guys have suggested to me as well. I may give that a go this year and try and keep up with the daily transactions and just play games that intrigue me on the schedule.

                        I think I will either go Giants or Rays. For it to be fun to play a whole season, I need a few things. 1. elite pitcher check Cain,Lincecum,Bumgarner or Rays well there are many. 2. Franchise hitter check with Longoria or Posey. 3. Young player to watch develop check with Matt Moore or Brandon Belt/Gary Brown. 4. Parks: AT&T is a given but believe it or not Trop is interesting with the cowbells and the little cutouts on the left and right corners of the walls where Dan Johnson and Evan Longoria won game 162 last year 5.Chance to contend this year, check for both

                          The Indians because they are my team and last year I did one with the Pirates instead so it is time I go back to Cleveland.

                                2 things...I'm new to the show forums and the show game...I was lying to myself all these years trying to believe 2k was a good game but after playing the show 11 I don't know what took me so long it's incredible! And being from Michigan I have to be a homer and support my team the TIGERS!! That lineup is lethal and can't wait to see what I can do with it...deciding what I want to do with 2nd base either leave Santiago or raburn.
