Who would you choose to run a franchise with and why?

I have played games with them all but cannot figure out which to use I like them all

I'm a braves fan, so them

What makes the braves better than the other two teams than it is your team

[BrodyChill5]

Young, talented outfield. One of the best defensive SS in the game, decent pitching staff, great franchise

I used Cincinatti in MLB 11 and it was probably my favorite franchise i've ever played. The only guy I didn't like to play with was Stubbs and he's gone. Votto and Bruce back to back is exciting.

cool it's always good to hear what other people have to say and to hear maybe some things that you don't already know about a team

I used the Reds in '10 and '12 so I know alot about how that team plays on the game. I could always hit good with Stubbs and not having him for the speed this year has me thinking of using somebody different

Re: Reds, Phillies, Braves

Since everyone else is going Reds and Braves, I think I'll take a stab at the Phills for your choice! You got a good centerpiece in Hamels to build your pitching around, you have a perfect chance to rebuild an older team, trading away some of your older guys for prospects! Could swing Rollins and Utley in some kinda deal for a few younger guys! It'd be a good rebuilding project and a tough way to work back to the top with the Braves and Nats in the mix!

Re: Reds, Phillies, Braves

I'm gonna have to say Braves, I've played with them in a few franchises with them so far this year while testing sliders. Good pitching staff that aside from Hudson only gets better after you finish spring training(as long as you don't skip it).

Great young lineup with power all over the place. Some good speed mixed in, both on the bases and to cover the field. Also I just love having their pen, used multiple teams this year and Atlanta easily has my favorite pen.

Only thing about the Braves that might turn some people off, its that there really isn't to many moves to make with them. Its more of a everythings here just can they put it together team. Only thing I ever add to them is Thome for some left pop off the bench.

Man that player model of Andrelton Simmons is UGLY! Why the long face? Hahahaha!

Re: Reds, Phillies, Braves

Yeah I always replace him with one from the vault, although he doesn't always win my starting spot out of spring. With him and Pastornicky both being B potentials.

Re: Reds, Phillies, Braves

Phillies, because they are older and you would have to rebuild quickly.

Re: Reds, Phillies, Braves

I am using the Reds now, I love it. Chapman (however you use him) is alot of fun. I rake with Choo and you have Hamilton waiting in the minors.

Re: Reds, Phillies, Braves

All good stuff, good thing I have a couple more weeks before the rosters are ready to decide

Re: Reds, Phillies, Braves

I'm a Braves fan so I love doing my Braves franchise but I love doing a franchise with the Reds. Great America Ballpark is so beautiful and I love playing games there and the Reds have some of the best uniforms in the game.
