I always play one out with Detroit, but like most games when I play with my favorite team I have a hard time getting rid of the BIAS i have for certain players they have and I dont want to let them go ha. Like on OOTP or MLB the Show if I play as Detroit I wont want to let Verlander go or JD Martinez(JV because his contract is crazy high for what he is now and JD because he always asks for alot!). So I try to find a cool storyline or use one of the many different teams I watch on MLB.tv if the Tigers arent on (Rangers, Diamondbacks, Braves, Rockies). I started one with the Rangers and watched Nomar Mazara, Rougned Odor, Jurickson Profar, Joey Gallo, and Lewis Brinson turn into beasts. We won 3 Straight Championships and saddly when they all hit 6 years I had to decide who to keep. (I only kept Mazara and Odor because I signed Jose Fernandez and a Cuban Int FA that hit me 53 HRs. I was sad because I couldnt get Beltre to 500 HR ( I tried...he got to 480). But as you can see I feel you can get more immersed if you use a team that isnt your fav..but that might only be for me because I tend to try to keep most of the Tigers
