Who Is the worst team to have in franchise mode? I know how people ask who is the best team or the most funny to play with. But who is the team that you just can't handle playing with or hard to build a championship team with? The team with nothing in the minors to help in the long run!!!

Re: Who is the worst team play in Franchise Mode
Maybe the Orioles or Blue Jays if you don't actually like the teams. The minor league systems are good, but not great, and it's an extremely tough division.
They are also not as good as they are in real life, the game really underrates their players.
Same thing with the AL West (ie: Mariners)... picking a team other than the Rangers or Angels will probably make for a long few seasons. At least all the other bad teams... eg: Cubs, Twins... are in fairly easy divisions.
There isn't really a team that I'd call a universally bad choice. It all depends on your tastes.Comment

Re: Who is the worst team play in Franchise Mode
I would do the Twins! Great field, great stadium, but not great players. Only Mauer and morneau, but you could trade them. OK farm system with Sano who turns into a beast! Trust me, I know!

Re: Who is the worst team play in Franchise Mode
Hate to say it, but The Reds have a lot of issues. Once you get past the starting eight, and the starting rotation.. They have NOTHING !! If anybody gets injured, its gonna be all over.Comment

Re: Who is the worst team play in Franchise Mode
The Cubs are maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but I can tell you, it has been quite a challenge trying to win with them and keep cash flowing. In real life, Wrigley is pretty much sold out no matter what is happening on the field; in the game, though, as the season goes on and your record gets worse, you're forced to drive all of your prices down almost to rock bottom just to get anyone to come to the stadium, makes for a very challenging task to not run out of money. (I have been to Wrigley when the Cubs were in last place; let me tell you, that ticket did NOT cost 10 bucks, and the "barley pop" and brat I ate did NOT set me back 10 bucks total--I think I spent about $100 bucks to see a last place team and drink a flat beer. But the brat was good!)
But yeah, their farm system is pretty good, so I figure a couple tough years then smooth sailing. The White Sox are pretty barren, and the Astros, or the bottom of the AL or NL East (I'm not sure how the Mets are doing what they're doing, but certainly it would be hard to do it with the way their numbers stack up in the Show) would probably be harder challenges.Comment

Re: Who is the worst team play in Franchise Mode
Haha I find this funny. What about the bullpen? Its only the best in the NL.... Only the best player in the NL...Votto. 8 youngest team in the ML. And injuries have occured this year IRL, they are without two of their best relievers, and have been without Rolen since the middle of May. I could keep going..the Reds are far from the worse team.#BBN #RedsNationComment

Re: Who is the worst team play in Franchise Mode
I wouldn't bother with either of the Chicago teams. The Cubs don't really have anything to work with and The White Sox have no depth. Indians have the same problem as the White Sox so if you start losing your main guys you are in trouble.
As others have said though Astros are the worst team to use. At least with some other low rated teams they have some young prospects with potential so you can turn them around. You would only use the Astros if you enjoy using really bad teams that will continue to be bad for a long time.Comment

Re: Who is the worst team play in Franchise Mode
Well we can talk about them in the show too if you want. All I'm trying to say is they aren't the worst team in the show either. In THE SHOW they are ranked 12th I believe. Thats pretty far from the worst team. So if they are thin past their starting 8, then the cardinals and phillies belong in there with the reds too.#BBN #RedsNationComment
