Franchise

[Gatorfan03]

Is anybody going to be doing any franchises on MLB 2K7 when they get it i am startin with the Red Sox.

[baandje]

I always clean out the Cubs and fill the team with first and second year players I've never heard of. Then I start my season.

[LALtoDB]

the cubs are my team so ya and hopefully they will have samardzija

[JoeCoolMan24]

the cubs are my team so ya and hopefully they will have samardzija


i WOULD think they would because he is probably the biggest name of any AA player right now. If not, he WILL be in the first update. And I WILL trade for him in my White Sox Franchise. :)

[foofighter2455]

i wouldnt count on it, 2k's rosters were pretty mediocre last year

[majorleestoned]

i think they are dedicated to it this year WHOLE NEW BALL GAME

[Mariners in 2006]

I always clean out the Cubs and fill the team with first and second year players I've never heard of. Then I start my season.
I did that once, on the 2K4 game I believe, I had like Rickie Weeks, who was a huge prosect in the game, and Grady Sizemore, ect. I got kinda bored of it and just managed the team for a couple years until they became contenders.

[Rockies24]

Im going with the rockies all the way :)

Why do you do that?

I'll probably use the Yankees in my franchise.

[baandje]

I'll probably use the Yankees in my franchise.
I don't care for star players. I like having no-names on my team, and then turning them into stars if possible.

[DerrekLeeForPresident]

I've definitely am starting one with the Cubs, and i'll trade jacque jones and put pie in center even if they wont.

[nyJetsMets]

I'll be using the New York Mets and like i done in the past,I'll play the full season with the Mets real roster without trading anybody away.

[dbacksfan01]

Ill use the d-backs and the angles after those two franchises ill do a random team like last years two random teams were Phillies and Bluejays and I finished all four teams franchises im working right now on my second year in my d-backs franchise.

[everyday endy]

I'll be using the New York Mets and like i done in the past,I'll play the full season with the Mets real roster without trading anybody away.

Same with me. It will be interesting though to see how the rotation is gonna be set up. I think im going to go with...
1. Glavine
2. El Duqe
3. Maine
4. Ollie
5. Either Sosa, Vargas or Dave Williams

[jmillhimes]

Ill be going with Houston and Baltimore!!!Way different teams but hey, I like both

[CARDS2501]

Samardzija is actually in single A playing for the Peoria Chiefs. I doubt that unless they have all three levels of the minors that we will see him. Having said that he did sign a Major League contract so he might get in one of the updates.

[Metlover22]

I'll just have the Regular rosters like Willie has 'em and the lineup and rotation with the Mets. And i'll probably go undefeated AGAIN!!

[philllyb]

go mets!!
2007 is our year!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sportslover]

I'm gonna doa Braves one...I might post it here.

[Yankeekid07]

Im Startin with the New York Yankees, cause there my favorite team

[RedSoxfan18]

Im always the Red Sox the first thing im going to do is get a better second baseman and im going to sign clemens and put paps back as the closer.

[2Nyce]

Always do a Yankees(Im From NYC) and a Devil Rays(I love underdogs)

[Double-J]

I'm a hardcore Yankees fan, so I'll play along with the season, with up-to-the-minute self-edited rosters, playing the scheduled game on that day.

Only bad thing is rain-outs, because then you don't always match up with real life. :D

[chainsaw4099]

will play as cards.

[tjhite]

I will also play as the Cards and i will trade for a good LF.

[sportslover]

There are a lot more Cardinal fans this year than last year....

hmm...:think:

[Blaze239]

I'm a huge Redsox fan but I want a challenge and i'm to lazy to play with two team because I play all 162 games. So i'm going to go with the Marlins. They are a young talented team with A TON of potential. I'll probably Trade Willis for Fransisco Liriano (if the twins accept it.) I'm going to try my best and not make an all-star team like i've done in the past. Is that a realistic trade?

[foofighter2455]

not too realistic because liriano is damaged goods now with a predisposition to injury since his days with the giants.

[MdotS]

Ill use the d-backs and the angles after those two franchises ill do a random team like last years two random teams were Phillies and Bluejays and I finished all four teams franchises im working right now on my second year in my d-backs franchise.


I like this guys style I do the same Start off with Cleveland then Toronto Then I like picking a more difficult team to make better like the Rockies or Mariners. But Indians and Jays are my teams so gotta do them first i usually take whatever roster looks most accurate first. Ill play like 4 seasons each but once the no name players come along i start to not care as much but it all depends. plus my seasons are always 20-40 games

hmm...:think:

Happens every year that a team is good. Look at all the Blue Jays fans coming out of the woodwork since they have improved. There has always been a lot of Cardinals fans just for some reason people seem to notice them more this year. The Cardinals are one of the most popular teams in baseball and always have been. A lot of the reason for this is they are over 100 years old and for a lot of years they were the western most team in Major League Baseball. Another reason for the strong Cardinals following is their former radio station. Up until last year the Cardinals games were all broadcast on KMOX radio which is a 10,000 watt powerhouse. I live near Chicago and can get KMOX to come in clearly at night. The Cardinals also have 118 radio affiliates in 9 states. Of course winning the World Series helps to increase your fan base but so does having the best player in the game in Albert Pujols and one of the best pitchers in the NL in Chris Carpenter on your team not to mention other recognizable stars like Scott Rolen, Jim Edmonds, David Eckstein and Mark Mulder.

If you want to talk about some fair weather fans there is no team worse than the Chicago White Sox. Yes they do have their core group of die hard fans that followed the team no matter what but I can tell you for a fact because I live right in the middle of "Sox country" that there have been a whole lot more people wearing the black and white since 2005 than there ever was before.

[sportslover]

I hate all the bandwagoner fans,kinda makes me glad that Braves have'nt won a WS in years...
Not really....

[CARDS2501]

yeah its clear that the Braves fans just don't give a crap. Any time a team is in the playoffs and they can only sell half to three quarters of their tickets you know you have a real problem with your fan base.

[Mariners in 2006]

For some reason, as bad as it's been the past three years, Seattle's fanbase has stayed strong and the M's still continue to have one of the highest attendances in the MLB. They have been in the Top-4 for the majority of the 2000's outside of the last two years, which they were still Top-10. Griffey, Edgar, A-Rod and now Ichiro have given us a good reason to stick around. The 1995 season got me addicted to this club, the first year I ever watched baseball and the '95 M's is the best team I have every watched, their comeback to the title in the last 4-6 weeks, the 2001 season was something else as well. I actual attended over 25 games that year and saw win #114. The nice thing, Seattle doesn't have many bandwagoners, even when they won 116 games.

[CincyFan]

i will start one with the Cincinnati Reds since i am from the nasty nati

God, I remember the mid-90's, it seems like everyone had an Atlanta Braves hat...and I live in upstate NY. :p

if you wanna do that just start a franchise with the marlins...

[DunnStrikesOut]

hmm...:think:

I have always been a cardinal fan since i was little. But i'm from PA, about 1 hour east of pittsburgh so i don't kno many cards fans from where i live. I'm stuck around Pirates fans and i always hear " Next year is the Year of the Pirates", tho i do respect the pirates since there the hometown team but they just flat out suck. But it sucks that i have never been to a cardinals home game but i have gone to games when they play in pitt.

[CARDS2501]

You have got to get down to Busch Stadium man. It is an experience unlike any other in baseball. It is a sea of red and you will be around some of the best fans in the world.

[sportslover]

I go to a lot of Braves games every year and it seems like we don't have a lof of hardcore baseball/Brave fans going to the games unlike Boston and NY where you can hear a baseball fan.Mostly kids and families which really PO because I can't watch a game in peace.That might be why we really don't have a lot of fans now and why playoff games are half-empty...

I think that the reason the regular season and playoff games are half empty is because the fans are used to seeing the Braves win in the regular season and first round of the playoffs. If the Braves get back into the playoffs this year I bet all that changes,.

one of these summers i want to go down to St. Louis and stay and see a 3 game series or 2
