Random Franchise?

[DJ]

When choosing a team for Franchise, has anyone just held the controller up/down for a certain length of time and then let go and whatever team it stops on is the team you use?

I'm looking forward to digging my feet back into the batter's box with this game after being on the road most of the last month for work. But, I'm having an awful time choosing a team to use for my Franchise. I tend to shy away from the Mets because I have a hard time separating the real-life moves from what's going on in my game. I've used the Blue Jays (13) and Orioles (14, I've continued that save over to 15) the past 2 years and need a new team, but no clue on who to use.

Royals
Astros
Marlins
Nationals

There are some young and highly exciting smaller market teams for you all with great franchise peices to build around.

I did random spin last year and got the Mets...

Immediately decided to do 3 spins, and then pick one of the 3, or do a random 4th spin and have to use that team.

I got the Mets again.

I repeated the whole thing until I got the Astros.

Just pick the Astros, nice Uni's, great park, some good young talent.

As hard as it is to use the Mets, even harder to use teams in the same division. Royals and Astros are intriguing.

Well, Stanton would make a mean TE if the Marlins find their way into Madden.
