    Anybody else hate playing with teams that aren't your favorite?

    No idea where to put this thread. There isn't really an "All Sports Games" or "Sports Gaming" section.

    Anywho, the title's pretty self explanitory. Whether it be FIFA or Madden or whatever, I just can't bring myself to play as anybody but my favorite team. I tried, for example, to play a full World Cup using Cameroon in FIFA WC 2010, only to quit after the first match and go back to using the US. I tried to play as someone that isn't the Packers in Madden, that didn't work.

    I just can't bring myself to care if I'm not my favorite team. Am I the only one like this?

    Most of the time, I only play as my favorite. But then I started a My Player career in NBA2k10, and the Cavs chose not to pick me up out of camp. The Celtics did.

    That season was not pleasant.

    I ended up facing the Cavs in the playoffs (the same time as this past playoffs, incidentally) and almost wanted to tank the series. Ended up losing to LA in the finals, then signed with... the Magic. I felt dirty. But my player was a great fit, and they are a fun team. We went on to take the championship. Still not happy. Gonna keep playing until I get that damn offer to sign with the Cavs.

          Yep. For that one moment in time, she had us mesmerized. Now, not so much. :wink:

            I'm actually the complete opposite.

            That probably has something to do with all my teams completely sucking and full of players I can't stand. Like the Cubs and Knicks.

                Since I don't have favorite teams for the most part, it's not a problem for me.

                Although, I'll never use teams or players I hate (for instance, you'll never find me using Evans in a UFC game or Detroit in an NHL game).

                  Nope, my only issue would be having to play my favorite team during a season in which I was not controlling them. Other than that, I have no issues playing with someone other than my favorite team.

                    Yes. The older I get the more I have to play with my favorite teams. A few years ago I would play with everyone except my favorite team. Weird.

                      I actually never play as my team. I hate making trades/signing free agents because then the team is different than real life. In NHL I never use the Sabres, Madden I never use the Pats, NCAA I'm never Minnesota. The only team I use that I cheer for is the Braves in MLB.

                        This is a great thread for me. No way in heck can I not play with my favorite team. I've tried for so many years and I just can't get into a team that is not my favorite. Crazy but true. Even online in Madden the only team I have ever used was the Cowboys. MLB, the Dodgers, B-ball, the Lakers

                          I rarely play with my favorite teams.

                            I can play as other teams, but can't play as a rival team...I feel like I've cheated on the Eagles if I play as the Cowboys, Giants, or Skins. Recently with 2K Basketball and Madden I played sooo many games as Philly in both that I wanted to experience using a different team.

                            Something I now consider too is playing as certain players. I played as the Mets some in 2K this year only because I wanted to use David Wright and Johan Santana after never having used them in a previous title. I feel like I owe it to myself to play as the Cardnials just because one day Albert Pujols won't be in the league any more, or Peyton Manning will retire so I feel I should use the Colts.

                            It becomes increasingly hard though to play as a different team if say, football season is still in session.

                              Well my favorite basketball team is the Knicks, so no, I don't hate playing with a different team. I do, however, HATE playing with a different team in Association in 2k10. The Knicks CPU GM is ******** (slightly more than what we've had in the past) and wastes away all that hard earned cap space on bums like Drew Gooden, Raja Bell, etc.

                              In football games, yes, I have to play with my favorite teams. I know they're playing style so well compared to others.

                              As a whole, as a sim player, I find it much easier for me to play as my favorite teams because I feel I can accurately mimic them. When I play with other teams, I sometimes feel I have to watch a few games on TV to make sure I'm playing right.
