Favorite Team to Use (Franchise Mode)

Re: Favorite Team to Use (Franchise Mode)

I can't make my mind up this year. Between jays and orioles. Like the jays a lot but not huge on their ballpark. O's I like a lot too plus have great park but pitching sucks.

I'm finding it really hard to wait on the rosters especially when I don't know who any of the minors are other than the top prospects at each club.

When they drop though I can't help myself and always restart.

I always play with the Astros.

Always use the team that stunk the most the previous year...This year it will be the Astros

Yeah you might be using them for a year or two more.

I'd go with the O's. The Jays have one of the most depressing ball parks to play in. So dark and bland. Nothing against Jays fans, haha. Plus I'm biased to the O's because I played with one of their outfielders on my high school team.

Balanced team, and nice stadium.

Re: Favorite Team to Use (Franchise Mode)

I usually play with the worst team in the game (Astros) like I'm some up and coming GM that would turn the team around. They have stunk now for many years and I like the challenge. What I do miss though were the contract goals for GM's that were in years past versions. I believe it was the show anyway.

Always the Jays. Can't get enough Blue Jays. Love the new unis too.

Re: Favorite Team to Use (Franchise Mode)

I've been using the Orioles, since MLB 09. They are my hometown team. The last two years it was fun because they had a decently deep farm system. Well, now all those prospects are in "The Show" and they have 3 decent prospects (Machado, Bundy and, Schoop). So this year there isn't any help coming in September. Looking to at least compete and finish better than the Blue Jays year one. Hoping to finish two seasons this time around.

Always Rangers.... hometown team. I have given the Astros a shot a few times. Their ballpark is so odd though. It's like they squeezed it into the space of a city block.

It will be interesting to see if I stick with the Rangers. They might make it too easy this year.

Astros...



Rangers Ballpark has nice lighting and surroundings...

Re: Favorite Team to Use (Franchise Mode)

Usually go with the team that I grew up with (Boston), but I think I might try the Royals now that I am living in the Midwest. Some nice young talent on the team!

Re: Favorite Team to Use (Franchise Mode)

I like to alternate between main Franchise modes with the Jays, Mariners, and Braves. I follow those three teams and always look forward to running with the them each subsequent year.

This year is the Jays and I couldn't be more excited with their roster. Really looking forward to starting it.

Re: Favorite Team to Use (Franchise Mode)

Im using the Bluejays this year. I think they have exactly what you want. The Royals and Pirates were also teams I was thinking about using.

Last year I used the Royals and had a blast with them. I think I have fun this year using the Bluejays
