    Favorite Team to Use (Franchise Mode)

    Who is your favorite team to use this year, particularly in franchise mode? I'm looking for a team who has pretty good hitting and decent pitching but is not a complete powerhouse... A team that can still use some work. So far I've used the Marlins, Pirates, Jays and Nats. I just find myself getting bored with them quickly. How about you guys?

    I use the Mets. They are my team so I only use them. Should be a good challenge this year which will make it fun.

      You want a pretty decent team that isn't a powerhouse?

      Try the Diamondbacks or the Athletics. I seem to have pretty good luck with them.

      I personally always use the Red Sox when I can :P Love being a Sox fan.

          I always run with my Giants once the OS rosters drop, but I also like to run with the flavor of the year teams.

          '08: Det because of the big FA signings and Bos for the WS win
          '09: Phi because of WS win and using R.Howard
          '10: I stuck to the Giants
          '11: was all about Atl and J.Hayward
          '12: is Miami and think I'll head back to Det since they signed Prince.

              I'm talking from the standpoint of the players being decent on paper.

              I haven't played as them this year yet, but it was easy enough to win with them last year, thanks to the great pitching, and the play of some of the hitters (for some reason, I hit well with Suzuki.. like really well)

                  I usually play as a National League team so I don't play the Rangers that often. Two years ago I played with Los Angeles (N), last year was Washington, and I think I'll try Chicago (N) this year.

                    I'll be starting one with the Brewers when the final rosters are released around opening day as that's my team (WI guy here). Although I have found The Show to be really hard on them in the game. I'm part of that organization in RTTS and the game has the Brew Crew doing pretty poorly which has me puzzled since the only bad thing to happen to the team is the loss of Fielder. That one loss can't have that much of an effect.

                      I'll be starting one with the Bucs when the OSFM rosters come out like I always do, but this year round, I decided to take my talents (or lack there of) north of the border to Toronto and play with the Jays. Brett Lawrie is pretty fun to play with and they have a few young tools too.

                        Reds. Only team I use. And I play every game, no sim. Unfortunately it's usually just a valiant effort due to time constraints. And I always keep my sliders to where it's ULTRA realistic. I play for the realism and the challenge of the game. Going like 132-30 or 115-47 is not realistic to me and therefore, not fun! Some of my friends play like this and it drives me batty. I'm proud to say I've yet to wear a ring. Here's my last three seasons w/ the Reds. I only managed one complete season.

                        2009 84-78 lost WC round to Florida.

                            BRAVES, I'm in May and been having a blast with them even in 4th place. You are almost locked into a good start about 3/5 of the time but the pen can get dicey, and the offense is good when it shows up but thats if it shows up. They have some nice young talent, and Chipper is always great as usual even if you'll only have him one year.

                              Always go with the hometown team, Seattle Mariners. Although I've tried the Yanks (second fav team) and Giants in the years past.
