    I think the OS roster is amazing, but I simply can't wait on it this year. I'm the type of guy that likes to play every game of the season, even though I might sim a game here or there this year. So waiting a month on the rosters could be 3-4 weeks of franchise games getting knocked out.

      I'm gonna do a mariners franchise, but my goal is to get through a few seasons this time so m gonna play a game a series or so, to get through it faster... I want to wait for full minors but no one seems to know when the rosters will be ready....

        I think the best way to complete a whole season (playing all the games) is to not play more then one game a day. This way you won't run out of gas at the all-star break.

            I think I'm going to have two franchises: the A's and the Nationals.

              Mariners franchise, seeing how one of the board members did a sim, and we only won 43 games, im gonna have to step in and have some say about that, expecially once Knights gets rosters done, and i have a rotation of Felix, Walker, Hutlzen, and Paxton in 2013, ahhh, gonna eb some great games, the AL West filled with offense, and my M's having the best rotation in baseball, and a lineup you cant laugh at any more.
              Ducks, Mariners, Blazers, Lillard, Favre, Iverson, Griffey, Hernandez, Hawks, Wilson,

                  Started a Seattle Mariners franchise. Traded away Felix, Chrone Figgins and Ichiro. Won the season opener 4-3 against the A's. I'll put who I got for the players after I finish playing my 2nd game.

                      Wow. You sent away all your stars. Hope those prospects turn out for you.

                        Yeah I really wanted a challenge. Makes it more fun for me.

                          I personally would have looked for more in a King Felix trade, but if the purpose was to really give yourself a good challenge, then it makes sense. Best of luck.

                            I'll be running with my Red Sox. I usually wait for the rosters but I am itching right now to start.

                              I am on the fence on my Franchise. I would like to wait for the OS rosters, but I want to get into it.
                              Thinking of doing RTTS maybe in the meanntime. I would love to play franchise games though, Im so primed! I know when the OS Rosters drop Ill have second thoughts on restarting.

                              I am an Indians fan, but leaning toward the Cubs, who are my NL team. I also prefer non-DH and the National League parks and feel.

                                Interesting. I'm planning on doing Pirates and Mariners for one of my franchises. I'm almost definitely trading away Ichiro and Figgins during the first year, but I hadn't made up my mind yet on trading away Felix. If I do trade him, I'll be looking for at least a future frontline starter and a future middle of the order bat.
