Do you guys play franchise with "your" team?

Couldn't see myself playing without the Yankees in an offline franchise.

I'm also a Nats fan, and while it's great to have baseball back in DC, I don't like paying them in the game. Like the OP I watch almost all of their games so I like to play other teams and it gives the game a completely different feel.

I've always played the Jays, but I'm not afraid to make trades and build them into a team that truly is mine. Also, fantasy drafts can help spice things up if you want to keep playing your favourite team.

That being said, I often toy around with the idea of playing an NL team. I barely ever get to see the NL parks playing the Jays. I remember actually getting to play a series in Busch stadium near the end of my 2015 season, and it was amazing. If I ever do pick up an NL team, it'll probably be as the Mets. I would also consider the Giants, but only if I were doing a fantasy draft.

Cubs would also be a nice pick for the park, but I have no attachment to the team whatsoever and would be left with 0 motivation.

Franchise with Yankees, Season with Marlins, and RTTS to whatever team drafts him. Luckily this year my 2nd baseman "Rocky Peoples" got drafted by the Yankees...

I technically don't have a local team - just a baseball fan in general. I need my MLBN because of it, otherwise maybe I'd just watch the Royals who are the closest and "local" team some 3 hours away.


I've lived in San Diego and liked them before Preller blew them up but I don't have to worry about "oversaturation" since I don't live there anymore. I didn't want to play with their new roster and thought some of the moves were not what I would have done so I wanted nothing to do with them. I also wanted a break from NL rules. I've also been a White Sox fan in the past but am not fond of Ken Williams and Hahn's moves were trash this off-season.


I also usually want to play with a team that is not so good and with players/personalities that I like. So, I knew AL and also with intradivision I wanted AL Central. For personal reasons, MIN fit my thoughts but no way was I playing with them or the Tribe. I hate Detroit. So, that left me with CWS and KC. I tried CWS for awhile. Couldn't make it 2 weeks with them and maybe I'll sim some stuff with them but it will take a while to fix that team. I'm trying KC now. More fun to play with, for sure.

Mets. Always Mets. I couldnt imagine playing with anyone else.

The only drawback is becoming emotionally attached to players IRL and having them underperform in your 'chise. I can be very hard to make roster moves with them.

As an example, in my 'chise Colon was stinking it up so I ended up trading him to KC for a couple prospects...then in real life, he went on a nice little run(obviously earlier in the season) and I wanted him back!

Always Marlins sometimes Mets. When I do play as the Mets I'll take Stanton with me. First thing I do with the Marlins is get rid rid of Loria, I know owners aren't in the game, and make myself the owner/gm/manager and use some of my stubs for a nice budget increase.

I usually play as the Braves but I have no problem playing with just about any team that isn't Philly or L.A.
