30 team franchise is a blast!

[mjarz02]

I just wanted to say that Ive really enjoyed the addition of the 30 team franchise. I do not have complete control of all 30 teams cause that seems like a daunting task. However, I have complete control of the twins and limited control of all other teams. I control their linueups, roster moves, injuries, and trades. Im still pondering whether or not I will control all 30 teams when it comes time to sign free agents, but I have a ways to go.

Playing with the same team over and over can be a little tedious at times. So being able to play with the Marlins or Braves or whoever once and awhile is fun. I'm able to help Jason Heyward on his way to ROY.

Anyone else enjoy controlling all 30 teams as well?

Absolutely love it.
I don't think I could play any other way now.
I basically let the CPU do what it wants....I use manual injuries....and I shuffle the AAA and AA lineups/rotations a bit...fix up the MLB lineups/rotations occasionally...and if I see a mid-low level player(fence guy)....sucking it at the MLB level...and a AAA guy doing well...I'll make that call up(I haven't yet).
I think that guys that dismiss 30 team control are missing out on a lot.

Is there a reason people wouldn't want to use 30-team control?

I hear many people complain about the time issue or it not being realistic. Yeah it may take a little extra time but its nothin out of control.

This year you are able to control all 30 teams in a franchise. You can customize what you want to control; trades, roster movement, marketing, etc. Here is a website that can give you lots of info

Eh, I cant bother with it, to be honest.

I just want to play and worry about my team...I dont want to spend time with the other teams and what they are doing.

Its a virtual baseball world...whatever transactions happen, I'll live with it.

Right, but here's the thing: you can make the CPU do EVERYTHING. Its always nice to have to the option in case anything wacky happens. Having control for 30 teams may not be realistic but how many times have you actually done something for other teams other than your own?

This is a great feature for people who want to control more than one team, one AL and one NL, etc. Instead of starting two separate franchise files, you just set however many teams you want to control to your profile and the rest goes to the global options.
