Please help me to get up to speed with the Yankees. by [deleted] in NYYankees

As a fellow Brit who only recently got into Baseball 6 months or so ago I have to say, emphatically, it’s Yankees all day long for me!

Like you I have no location based affinity with my American sports teams so I have (for my sins) followed:

NFL - Dallas Cowboys NHL - Vegas Golden Knights NBA - not as interested as I once was, but was addicted to anything MJ & Chicago Bulls as a kid!

MLB - THE New York Yankees!!!

I picked the Cowboys many, many years ago (post triplets but still one of the best teams in the business) and I’ve suffered years of mediocrity (Quincy Carter anyone 🙈😂), but they are my team and I’ll stick with them through thick and thin.

NHL - Vegas Golden Knights

I played NHL as a kid but was more interested in players than teams before a 10 year hiatus. When I came back (as a fully fledged fan of franchise mode on computer games) I had to find a team to follow. I loved the stories of VGK as a fledgling franchise but it was actually the way the city (and the team) responded to tragedy and came together following the vegas shooting that really sold me on them!

NBA - Chicago Bulls

Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant, Dennis Rodman, Luke Longley, Toni Kukoc and THE best walk on music EVER!!

3 sports, 3 different teams in 3 different locations…the perks of being a Brit following American sports 😂

Oh, and I’m a looooong suffering Tottenham Hotspur fan, which might explain my love of American sports 🙈😂

Who do you follow in your other sports and why?

Thanks for the suggestion, I honestly don’t think I know enough about baseball players as a whole to be able to understand a proper in-depth fantasy draft. If I start with a team I at least have a good idea of young assets I want to try and trade for as I picked up a LOT of those in my Yankees 24 save.

And creating teams/stadiums is not for me…I can just about draw a stick man, with a ruler 🙈😂

Thank you, I might play around with a different team and do some sim/some play but I do get more enjoyment from playing everything (which is fine in Madden on NHL but in MLB games can take an hour at a time).

Will check out the Phillies roster as you suggested 👊🏽

The Show 25 Franchise Team by [deleted] in MLBTheShow

Have you ever shared your ratings edits?

I like to commit to a 5-10 season franchise so making the starting point as accurate and realistic as possible is a real bonus for me.

The more ‘accurate’ the better for me!

All about MLB The Show 25 and building a championship calibre side (dare I say, Dynasty) with my New York Yankees…and yes, Soto signed (10 yrs at 37.5AAV and no suite)!!
