Re: What Team are you Planning on Using and first actions

Whenever a new version of the show drops, I like to start a franchise with the Rockies just to get used to all the changes in the new version. I moved to Colorado in '03 from NYC and enjoy going to Rockies games and love Coors field. When I am ready to start my "real" franchise, (after OSFM set drops) I roll with the Yankees.

I can relate to this (as I am sure most can).

While my favorite team, the Rockies are in the NL, there are a number of teams in the AL with cool stadiums that I wouldn't mind playing with. But I am not a big fan of the DH. I prefer working the strategy around the pitchers with pinch hitters and double switches which just doesn't happen as often, if at all in AL. I can't see myself playing with any of the NL West teams the Rockies compete against, I have no interest in any of the NL East teams and while there is one or two NL Central teams I could play with if push came to shove, ultimately they also compete against the Rockies. So back to Denver I go (I did live in CO for 8 years between 1998 and 2005).

With the late release of the game this season, I don't think I will be waiting for the OSFM rosters. I suspect I will work with the defaults out of the box or go with an online update if one exists on April 1st. But I am not a franchise player. I only play the game using the Season mode. So I don't need access to all the minor league players. However I am curious to see what SCEA has in store for the skill levels of all the different players in all the teams in MLB 14, especially of course the Rockies. In the last few years the team have had good offense with questionable pitching. But in the 2013 real world season, the hitting wasn't as good as it was in past years but their pitching while not great, was an improvement over the 2012 season.

on another not. The AL West (in the game) will b an insane division in about 2 seasons so that could def be the toughest division to play in
3) It's completely against MLB rules, which I believe the game mirrors, until June 15th.

Re: What Team are you Planning on Using and first actions

This question probably only applies to people playing "Season" mode in MLB 14. But what are your thoughts on players who in the real world will be sitting out the 2014 season due to injury. Will they still be on your respective 25 man or 40 man rosters as you would prefer to have the best team available playing the season? Or will you be sitting them out just like they will be sitting out in the real world?

Always do a 30 team franchise, but the first game always has to be with the Cubbies at Wrigley.
