Which MLB Team is the Most Intriguing to Play As This Year? (Roundtable)

[Nwo4Life75]

I really don't understand,if you are a true diehard baseball fan and a true diehard fan of a particular team,why would you even consider and or be intrigued by any other team in franchise mode. I don't get it. That's like me being as huge diehard Phillies fan which I am,but picking the New York Mets to play as in franchise mode.

Some people dont like using their favorite team. I will. But ill also start one with the Phillies cause they are garbage and KC isnt anymore. I like more of a challenge. Im also attached to certain players. There is no way in hell Mike Moustakas wont be n my team. And he could barely hit .200 last year. I couldnt care less about any other teams players so i have no issue getting rid of them when the time is right.

I absolutely adore the Cubs and follow them borderline obsessively; I cannot play as the Cubs in a franchise mode.

The main reason for this is because I have too much of an emotional attachment to the players and the team that I can't make trades as I see fit without feeling guilty about it. I also much prefer taking on a team that would be more of a challenge than the Cubs who are looking to be very good in the very near future. Not to mention the fact that I spend so much time watching and following the real life Cubs that when it comes time to play a game I'm happy to take over another club just to break it up a little bit too.

It's all in someone's personal preferences. It has nothing to do with being a "true fan" or not.

Exactly my feelings. I always use the pirates because they are my team but then I do a second franchise with a different team because when I'm the pirates I can never bring myself to replace guys who need upgraded like Walker Harrison Mercer and then I always rush Taillion Henson and Glasnow up.
So using a different team let's me blow it up or sign different guys.
