Who's your team? Will you use them, or are they so terrible that you will cheat stack, or use another for gulity pleasure?

I will stick with my LA Dodgers but trade for my main man Bad "motha-flippin" Vlad from Anaheim Angels. He's all i need for total domination.

I'm gonna have to stick with my Florida Marlins. I know we lost Miggy but we still have the best SS in baseball, so it's ok.

Yankees...its my team.

I have 3 4-packs to 3 red/sox yankees games this july 3 and august 26 & 27 in the bronx and I cant wait, Yankees/Angels in the Bronx also in August.....and I have front row 3rd base seats behind the dugout at tropicana field for yankees/rays in May. A fantastic year.

Probably sell off one of the sox yanks 4 packs though

True fans use their team in games as well, no matter how bad they are. I'm sure that's lost on some of you guys that just pick random teams, though. The worst is when someone roots for a team in real life b/c they used them on a video game. That seems to have happened a lot with Vick and the Falcons a few years back.

I play with my Dodgers. As for trades, I keep my roster just like the big boys. The only trade I make is for one of my high school buddies that now pitches for the Phillies. He's not rated very high, so it doesn't make much of a difference, but I like to have him on my team.

You should create your friend and use him in the road to the show so you play with him throughout his career all the way to the HOF. haha, I bet your friend would be stoked

I'm in the same position; I only have a PS2, Wii, and 360. I thought about getting the Show for the PS2 but I can't bring myself to go back a generation. I'll just have to go with 2K8 and hope it's improved.

Gonna have to go with the Angels on this one, i also like the Dodgers. Sad part is the last time the Dodgers won the world series which was in 88 i was born the night they won that game 5 against Oakland. I'm born and raised here in Los Angeles but i like the Angels more.

Could have anything to do with the fact that the Angels won the WS in 2002 and the Dodgers haven't won a playoff series since 1988? :roll:

Well yeah but even before the Angels won in 02 i've been more of a fan of them over the Dodgers.

Mostly the Braves, but I might use the Dodgers a little since they have a few of my all-time favorite Braves (Andruw and Furcal).

The Phillies, mostly. I have more fun when I use my favorite teams in video games. Sometimes I'll use other teams if I'm bored though.

Maybe they will win the WS again in 2009 when you turn 21. That would be cool.

Tell me about the mode, I've never heard of what you do in the mode, other than you create a player and play as him throughout his career.

Tell me about the mode, I've never heard of what you do in the mode, other than you create a player and play as him throughout his career.

Basically you play through entire seasons with one player and you only play in the plays he's involved with. So the seasons go a lot quicker. In 08, your coaches will give you all sorts of goals to achieve or actions they want you to take while you are playing. It's really fun playing as minor league players trying to get in the bigs. And for me, it's especially fun playing pitchers in that mode.
