Fun and enjoyable article by Jeff. So looking forward to this game!

Now to get super off track, I'm really hoping that this game expanding to other consoles come 2021 results in an improved franchise mode. The gameplay is already super steady and well done. I'd expect a small boost to graphical elements for next gen consoles (fully implemented 3D grass rendering, improved dirt, improved textures, significantly lower load times). But the beefier CPUs in the next gen consoles should in absolutely no way limit the construction or revamping of franchise mode (in the small case that it somehow hampers development of the franchise mode currently... doubtful, but I'm also not a developer).

Agreed, very fun and enjoyable article Jeff!

I'd imagine I'll run through a few franchises, but these will be the key ones that I likely end up with:

-Toronto: Canadian. Loads of potential offensively, lots of young arms that you can slowly bring along, and still a dandy farm (BBA ranked it 6th overall!). My usual issue is that given they're my favorite team, I struggle to make moves and stick with them. The maple syrup runs a bit too thickly in my veins!

-Seattle: Same reasons as you listed. Never won a world series. Farm system is coming along, but do you want to sell the farm to make a couple of big additions? Rotation will need a lot of love as well.

-Tampa: As a guy who loves a good rebuild, Tampa doesn't really fit the mold, but moving them to Montreal (if that's one of the cities you can move to), and having a Toronto-Montreal rivalry would be a heck of a lot of fun. Building around Wander Franco will be entertaining as well.

-Miami: Still a bad team, but could also be a candidate for relocation. Great farm.

Jays fan here also. I have a problem playing with them as I get too attached and am handicapped in making trades to improve the team.


.... but Vladdy Jr., Bichette, Biggio???? Come on we gotta go with the Jays.

I'll stick to doing 1 season with my usual suspects: Orioles, White Sox, Rockies, and either Oakland or Seattle.

I always love reading articles and posts on this topic. But they only make my decision on choosing a team more difficult.
