Created players in Franchise

[CWSJ]

Do you guys create yourselves and put them on your team?

If yes do you have him max stats or do you start him at a 70-80 overall and watch him grow?

[EdReedFan20]

I used to, but then I realized that by running the team I was the GM and a GM does not play on the team (the same goes for Madden for me). The only way I put myself on the team is if I'm doing an exhibition/home run derby or Road to the Show.

I'll typically create some fake prospects and do a sort of pseudo-RTTS thing. I try to make it realistic when I do so and not call them up until at least the 2nd year of franchise.

I usually create a player in franchise. It allows me to take elements from RTTS and put them in a situation in which I make all roster moves.

Me and multiple friends on the WhiteSox and then at least one friend on every MLB team, usually filling the biggest position hole for that specific team.

Like playing against them and then seeing them in FA.

I create myself every year and keep everything in the 60 to 80 range except for speed.
I'm maxed out on speed because I still hold the SB record for my HS, so I think I deserve to be a 99 on that.

I always create myself and a couple of friends and my son. I can get into the game more this way. I dont max out attributes. Id say somewhere between 75-80

(Astros Franchise) Yes...and I MAX out his stats. After the first season I end up regretting it because I'm paying 'me' around 18 million a season. I can't afford anyone else. So, it's just 'me' surrounded by a bunch of AA players....yawn.
