Anyone else hate playing with their favorite team ?

For the franchise people

Am I the only person who keeps trying to play with his favorite team and can’t do it ?

Not sure why but every time I start a franchise with the Mets I lose interest fast. Winning or losing it does not matter. It’s like I either get affected by what a player is doing in real life or it bothers me if they play better then they should or worse in the game

Anyone else have this issue or am I the only crazy one ?

I wouldn't say I hate playing w/Atlanta, but I do like playing w/Baltimore, Colorado, Oakland, Seattle and the White Sox.
when it comes to the Show those are in a sense my favorite teams, but not IRL they aren't. well, except for the O's. over the last dozen years I have adopted them almost like a ''step-team''. the Braves will always be my boy, my favorite son, but I have developed a soft spot in my head, err... my heart, for the Orioles

[Detroit Tigers]

Opposite, I can only play with the Tigers.

I do know what you mean about real life having odd consequences to a person’s franchise mindset though. My go-to response on that is how I spent too many years hitting .237 with Miggy while he was hitting .341 irl to worry about it anymore. My stats are my stats. If I’m killin it it’s bc I’m killin it. Real life is irrelevant.

A few years ago I was playing franchise with my Jays. I had an amazing game where I came back in the 9th to walk it off with a home run with Jose Bautista.

I went to bed overjoyed.

Next day I go to work and ask a coworker if he had seen the big comeback last night.

The Jays hadn’t even played the night before. I had gotten real life and video game life confused.

Ever since I try to stay away from the Jays.

I usually start a franchise with them to try them out but my serious day to day franchise is always another team.

Its rough for me man, Maybe its because I watch every met game every year and i am so sick of seeing the Nationals, Braves, Marlins, and Phillies in real life I can not stomach them in game

I'm in an American league city so each year I pick a national league team that I go with and do a rebuild. But this year I did the opposite and went with the home town guardians because they're in sort of a rebuild, so in my world I'm the GM of the home town team and going to lead them to glory and my friends and family will all hail my greatness for delivering on my promise.

Anyone ever thought about playing an anti (favorite team) franchise where you play as whoever the opposing team is against your favorite team?

I don’t like playing with the Giants because I find it harder to make smart decisions in terms of cutting/trading/not re-signing guys/etc.
