Bacon's Fictional Roster

Re: Bacon's Fictional Roster

Bacon I know I said I was going to do an Oakland A's franchise. But I am wanting to do a National League team since I always play with my Yankees in various franchises.

I need some National League flavor.

Give me the top 5 teams you think are bursting with personality in either the NL East or NL West. I have a NL central franchise already with my fantasy cardinals from MLB 16 still going.

Appreciate the feedback!!!

I don't exactly have a top five but I'll share my opinion nonetheless. I like the AL a bit more than the NL but I also feel like both leagues fit well if you wanna try to play around with the DH rule and mix & match various bench options throughout a season if you don't.

And to actually answer your question, my top five in the NL (unranked) would be Cincinnati, Miami, Pittsburgh, San Diego and Washington.

As for the AL, my five would be as follows: LA, Tampa, Texas, Toronto and obviously Oakland.

Bacon...I ended up choosing the SF Giants!! Really nice looking squad. Love the mix on that team.

No wrong answers. I like San Fran a lot too.

Re: Bacon's Fictional Roster

Just downloaded, amazing job. I’m going to start a franchise soon. Is there any way to know which, if any pitchers are submariners?

Thank you my guy...unfortunatley, I didn't keep track of submariners really so there isn't a way I could quickly tell you them all but there are a few notables like James Brandon of the A's and Baltimore's Cody Smart.

Re: Bacon's Fictional Roster

Bacon, don't know if you have this listed anywhere but are there any guys near or approaching breaking any MLB records?

I did a franchise where I purposely got rid of those guys so it was more like “Year One” of a new baseball league.

Re: Bacon's Fictional Roster

For anyone interested, I posted a gamplay video for a Road to the Show that I recently started.

The video begins with my debut and is about an hour in length.

Check it out!

Re: Bacon's Fictional Roster

Bacon, hypothetical question. MLB 20 comes out, and team customization in some form is in like exists in other sports games. What do you do with this roster? Develop unique team names and logos? Or keep using the Default MLB?

I haven't thought too much about a hypothetical like this so I'm not really sure what I would do honestly...either really could be fun. I think creating my own uniforms or adjusting logos would be better than starting from scratch.

Might wanna start jotting down some ideas...just in case.......I think removing the "MLB" entirely from these rosters would be the ultimate pinnacle for them. It would be so immersive. I'm probably jinxing things...

I'll begin to do some preliminary brainstorming.

Re: Bacon's Fictional Roster

Bacon, as many others have done, I just wanted to jump in here and say thank you for the incredible amount of work you've done on these. As someone who only casually follows MLB, this roster is incredibly exciting to me.

I picked up this year's game on sale and after several days of absolutely no idea on who to start a franchise with (it was that hard to pick due to so many teams seeming exciting options), I went ahead with the Giants. Love that they have veteran players as well as some prospects.

Amazing work. Just the variety you've created in terms of equipment across players is outstanding and noticeable.
