[Rick Grimes]

Hello everybody, I was wondering if anyone had any good recommendations for the most unique starting situation in OOTP 26.

I always enjoy playing as the Athletics, the market size is brutal and its kinda fun to just wind up in some new market at the AI's whim. This year too, you have a collection of talent that's much better than the last couple years, although its not nearly enough to feel like you're stepping into a cakewalk.

I'd also say, Royals, Pirates, and Rays always feel unique in that there is both established talent too good to commit to a bog-standard, tear-it-all-down rebuild, while also not being good enough to win without some moves. Sometimes it gets boring just rebuilding from year one, so I like trying to make these teams work with what they currently have going. Rays are probably the most unique of the pack because market size.

I thought it was the Marlins and their minuscule payroll but here I am with the NL pennant in year one. I won the World Series in year two with the Reds and all I did was call up Cam Collier and trade for a few relievers!
