[Bullit]

I have created a new house rule for my franchise mode. I load Knights Rosters and make sure all settings are at default. Then I start my RTTS character and then enter the draft. Whatever team I get drafted for is the team that I play in my Franchise mode.

I always try to play a different team than that of the team I follow. I get so wrapped up in my team that I don't enjoy franchise as much. With a random team I actually seem to pay more attention and enjoy it a whole lot more. The randomness also appeals to me because that way I have no preconceived thoughts or strategies or even emotional ties to my franchise team.

I am on year 4 with the Indians and have been having a blast. I also dont sim at all or make any changes once my franchise starts. I treat it like an entirely different universe than the one going on in the real world.
