I'm one of those people that need to play all 162 games to have the stats be my own. With that method, I'm only going to get through one season before next year's game comes out. That being said, I'm having difficulties choosing a team. I've narrowed it down to four, and could use some suggestions. I use all-star timing hitting, with all-star meter pitching. I plan on using Scott's rosters. I want a challenge, but one where I have a realistic shot at making the postseason without making unrealistic trades or free agent signings. Here are the four teams I'm deciding between:
Red Sox- I started with them already, and am 10 games into the franchise. I love the uniforms and stadium. However, I'm a little concerned that it might be too easy using them. I am tearing the cover off the ball with them, and just rolled over the Rays, sweeping a four game series where none of the games were close. Should I give them more time, or are they probably too easy?
Blue Jays- I LOVE the uniforms, but am not a fan of the ballpark. They have great young players, and a great system. My concern would be trying to make the playoffs in that division, as well as getting bored of playing at the Rogers Centre (I can't use another park as my home park, it just doesn't feel right).
Orioles- Great uniforms, great ballpark, great hitters. I would really like to use the O's, but I'm afraid of their pitching getting lit up over the course of the season. Like the Jays, I feel it may be tough to make the playoffs, but even more so. I'm sure I could make a trade for an ace near the deadline, but would it be realistic for them to contend until then?
Nationals- Good uniforms, great ballpark, spectacular pitching. Playing with Harper would be exciting, and this is probably the most balanced of the 4 teams listed. My concern is that last year I used the Braves as my franchise team, so the NL East stadiums won't feel so fresh, and using an AL team might be a good change of pace.
Thoughts?
