I am in year 4 of a Rockies rebuild. The only OG players I have left from the '24 roster are Nolan Jones, Yanquiel Fernandez, and Chase Dollander. I picked up Juan Soto and Vlad Jr. in free agency along with a bunch of A-B pitchers along the way. I made it to the world series last year against the Twins but lost in 6 games. I won a crazy NLCS against the Braves in which game 7 went 14 innings when Soto hit a walkoff homer to win it. This year I picked up Paul Skenes from the Pirates in a trade, so ready to make another run. If I can win the WS with the Rockies, I may try with the Angels next, but will change their name to the Devils and move them to Las Vegas. Seems appropriate.
I can't wait to get this game and will wait until the rosters are all set. I will rebuild the Yankees, Mets and Cubs. I will also do a fantasy draft and then rebuild around that. Last year I had one of the 1st few picks and took Ronald Acuna Jr. This year though I plan on getting the PS5 and have the ability to bring back the Expos.
@@FranchiseGaming No but I'll check it out. Once I get the PS5, I want to build the old stadium from the 70s and 80s. (unless somebody has built it and I can upload it)
I did the Giants, my save got corrupted so I've been playing as my Phillies, but I want to rebuild and have a challenge. I'm going to do the Yankees. The Yankees rebuild sounds like fun! I'm going to try to make them a dynasty. Thanks for the video dude keep it up!
I always like these kinds of videos. As a Brewers fan I always wind up doing a franchise for us, but this year I decided to relocate the Rays to Nashville and do a fantasy draft!
Or you can do what im doing with the Angels, keep some realism (Rendon & Trout have player controlled no-trade clauses) AND rebuild them with the story of getting Trout a ring, hopefully!
I’m rocking with the White Sox this year when the rosters get updated for Opening Day. Got a lot of former Braves on the roster, not the best farm system and not any real talent other than Robert Jr. on the big league club.
Honestly MLB fast sim rebuilds are a bit tough. There are so many little details to pay attention to that matter. If you don't make the roster moves for injuries and September call ups, the CPU does them and they do a real bad job sometimes causing guys to be on waivers or get cut completely
Because of your list I've narrowed it down to 2 teams maybe you can help me out it's: Kansas city royals & San Diego padres? Which team should I go with?
Do you have any video about how the budget/money works in franchise? I keep getting the "you cant afford this..." and I dont even have any big deals on my team. Most are under 5mil with only 2 higher than 10mil
Are you cutting people? Do you have a small market team? There is a budget screen as well you can look at to see how much you have to spend. It goes based on market and how much you're winning.
Nah I put together my own roster with what I thought was everyone. Only missed one guy from SF. My opinion isn't gonna change all that much in such a short time.
@@brandonbaird3917 I think Snell can make them a fringe wild card contender. Doesn't change that it's an old team in win now mode while not being good enough to actually beat the monsters of the NL like Dodgers or Braves.
@@FranchiseGaming yea for sure, I’m curious on what your thoughts are on the mlb going to a salary cap vs what they have now. I think it might make things more competitive in the long run.
@@brandonbaird3917 I'd love to see it but it won't happen because that's part of what the players win on in the CBA. It takes so long for a guy to get paid his millions with all the team control that the players get guaranteed contracts and get paid for what they have done over what they will do leading to big guaranteed multi year deals that a salary cap would not accommodate simply due to every market being totally different
You know this already, but I'm doing a franchise with my Cardinals. Plenty of hitting prospects, but not much on the pitching side, and their SPs are almost as old as me.
If you're new, definitely try the Angels/Padres route first. Learn the way the game works, rebuild them in a few seasons and then move on to Royals/Rockies that are a bit more involved.
I like the Marlins as a rebuild but I did them in '22 and they have gotten BETTER since then. Still 3rd or 4th in the East but...good middle-of-the-road type team. And, you can get them out of their awful stadium and build them something special!
@@FranchiseGaming I watched octys marlins series as well and it was a fun watch! Made the series better when my player won finals mvp for the rays as well
Yes I did. Under FranchiseGaming. But I did make one error. Prospect Ryan Clifford of the Mets is doubled. I think my 1B one is more accurate to his stats than their LF but...do what you wish
I am doing an Angels franchise right now. Still in the middle of season 1 but I traded Mike Trout to the Twins (I think 😅) I might do a Mets rebuild or a create a team (EXCITING 🎉)
Well seeing as how I clearly stated my reasoning and they've won a very respectable 0 Championships in the last 14 seasons, what is your reasoning for saying I don't know what I'm talking about. Seems you're projecting there genius

Nice to see you back man! Great video as always, and really good pick as the Mets for the number one spot. That payroll is a nightmare lmao
Payroll is a nightmare and the team just feels like a purgatory team

That Expos idea is great! Have you seen my friend TnJ rebuilding them?
@@FranchiseGaming No but I'll check it out. Once I get the PS5, I want to build the old stadium from the 70s and 80s. (unless somebody has built it and I can upload it)
I’m rocking with the Tigers for this year series on the channel.
Fun stuff! MLB 20 Tigers franchise is still one of the most viewed things on my channel. Good luck!
@@FranchiseGaming thanks yea I watched it a little bit after the A’s franchise
Just picked up the game myself. I knew this was the first place I needed to stop by.
Yessirr
I know I’m late, but some out of the box rebuilds I came up with are the Red Sox and Marlins. Both pretty fun for me so far. Great video btw.
Sounds great! Red Sox were definitely up there for me just missed out. Too similar to a Mets rebuild imo and I chose them instead for the list.
I did the Giants, my save got corrupted so I've been playing as my Phillies, but I want to rebuild and have a challenge. I'm going to do the Yankees. The Yankees rebuild sounds like fun! I'm going to try to make them a dynasty. Thanks for the video dude keep it up!
Good luck and thanks for the kind words!
Gonna be rocking with the Royals this season on my end
Very nice choice!
I’ll be taking my favorite team (until they move), the Oakland A’s. I will be doing the right thing and keeping them in Oakland
Yessir!!!
LETS GOOO great video!! cant wait for a rebuild series
Coming soon!
@@FranchiseGaming to a theater near me!
i might end up rocking with either the mariners, giants, or padres.
Go M's...no bias....
Good content, like always. Nicely done FG!
Glad you enjoy it!
I always like these kinds of videos. As a Brewers fan I always wind up doing a franchise for us, but this year I decided to relocate the Rays to Nashville and do a fantasy draft!
Thanks! That sounds like a cool idea!
I’m between Rockies + Athletics I’m a royals fan so that one will happen at some point.
All three are desperately in need!
Or you can do what im doing with the Angels, keep some realism (Rendon & Trout have player controlled no-trade clauses) AND rebuild them with the story of getting Trout a ring, hopefully!
Love that tbh!
I’m rocking with the White Sox this year when the rosters get updated for Opening Day. Got a lot of former Braves on the roster, not the best farm system and not any real talent other than Robert Jr. on the big league club.
Terrific reasoning!
I would once again love to see you do a Mets rebuild, because I'm biased but I also wouldn't mind seeing a pure Angels rebuild either actually.
AYO
Im new to baseball and am trying to play franchise like a Madden rebuild. Any tips?
Honestly MLB fast sim rebuilds are a bit tough. There are so many little details to pay attention to that matter. If you don't make the roster moves for injuries and September call ups, the CPU does them and they do a real bad job sometimes causing guys to be on waivers or get cut completely
Fantastic vid mate
Thanks my friend!
I think the Angels would be fun. Just trade Trout and get the Rendon contract off your hands for a stick of gum lol
Obviously the Rendon contract is garbage but realistically you wouldn't be able to get that off the books via trade. No one is taking that.
as a pirates fan i do them every year lol
Fair enough!
Imma have to get take a look at the angels; thanks for the video
Anytime Matthew! Hope you've been well!
@@FranchiseGaming same to you brorha
Awesome work mate
Because of your list I've narrowed it down to 2 teams maybe you can help me out it's: Kansas city royals & San Diego padres? Which team should I go with?
Depends what you prefer. Money for free agents (Padres) or building through the draft (Royals)
Do you have any video about how the budget/money works in franchise? I keep getting the "you cant afford this..." and I dont even have any big deals on my team. Most are under 5mil with only 2 higher than 10mil
Are you cutting people? Do you have a small market team? There is a budget screen as well you can look at to see how much you have to spend. It goes based on market and how much you're winning.
I traded Rodon for some prospects same with Stanton
See if I were rebuilding the Yankees I would not trade Stanton. Realistically, it's why the Yanks haven't IRL, no one can or would take that contract
Oh my I died when you said shota imanga😂😂😂
Cool
Great video, but now that all the rosters are updated with the players and all do you think this changes ?
Nah I put together my own roster with what I thought was everyone. Only missed one guy from SF. My opinion isn't gonna change all that much in such a short time.
@@FranchiseGaming I was just wondering because like now the giant also have snell and so forth. I love the video was just curious

How do you make the oakland A's into the Las Vegas A's?
@@dennis5783 rebrand feature in franchise mode
@@FranchiseGaming Thank you
@@FranchiseGaming Thank you.
Angels have been a blast for me
Angels really does have a great rebuilding feel this year
Was using the Red Sox and realized their top 2 prospects aren’t in the game and was wondering if anyone else had this issue?
Mayer and Anthony? Yea they aren't in yet and will likely be with the first roster update. I added them myself.
Anthony is but Mayer still isn't added him myself
You know this already, but I'm doing a franchise with my Cardinals. Plenty of hitting prospects, but not much on the pitching side, and their SPs are almost as old as me.
LOL yes and it's gonna be fun to watch!
Welcome back! Looking forward to your rebuild!
Thank you Javier!
Hey, I’m sortve new to the game and the sport in general. And I’m stuck between the Angels, Padres, Royals and Rockies.
If you're new, definitely try the Angels/Padres route first. Learn the way the game works, rebuild them in a few seasons and then move on to Royals/Rockies that are a bit more involved.
@@FranchiseGamingThoughts on rebuilding the marlins? They seem like a very fun team and they’ve got some of the nicest jerseys in the league
I like the Marlins as a rebuild but I did them in '22 and they have gotten BETTER since then. Still 3rd or 4th in the East but...good middle-of-the-road type team. And, you can get them out of their awful stadium and build them something special!

FG PIMMMPPPP! Love ya brotha
Love you too big PIMP!
If yall rebuild yankees just put spencer jones at first to replace rizzo
He isn't ready immediately.
I can’t believe no one ever does the trash Nationals
My man @NelsonBulluckGaming did near 3 full season of the Nationals on his channel.
Did you upload your rosters?
Yes I did. Under FranchiseGaming. But I did make one error. Prospect Ryan Clifford of the Mets is doubled. I think my 1B one is more accurate to his stats than their LF but...do what you wish
He’s back!!! 🎉🎉
Yessir!
Only good thing about cheering for a bad team is rebuilding them every year in franchise mode lol. Go Royals
LOL they are ALWAYS on these lists I feel!
As a Mets fan, I’m doing the mets
Sounds good!
Rebuild the Royals or the Twins
Good video
Thanks
I wish we can create expansion teams
You should check out my other channel - Moneyball Maniac where I'm doing an "expansion". Can't do a true expansion, sure. But creativity FTW!
Padres n Mariners
Love it!
I could only pay Soto for 2 years but ended up traded him
Sheeeeesh Soto passed around
I am doing an Angels franchise right now. Still in the middle of season 1 but I traded Mike Trout to the Twins (I think 😅)
I might do a Mets rebuild or a create a team (EXCITING 🎉)
LOL interesting!
Can you switch franchise in season ?
Only if you turn GM contracts on
If it ain’t zero ovr , I’m not interested
That's your opinion. Plenty of RUclipsrs out there doing that.
I'm going with Rockies. They are so bad and not many good prospects
Agree there!
What’s is the rebuild and does this mean that you get to rebuild the team or something?
Trying to win a World Series in Franchise Mode...that's a rebuild. There are legit thousands on youtube
What about Jung Ho Lee?
NGL forgot about him but I can definitely still add him.
Giants
Reds
Solid. Elly De La Cruz is so fun!
No angles athletics
I don't know what this comment means. I did put the Angels on here.
I guess the Red Sox shitty team and kinda shitty future doesn’t make the list?
Doesn't make mine, no.
I’m rebuilding the padres
They could use it since their plan hasn't gone well
bro has no idea what he was talking about the yankees
Well seeing as how I clearly stated my reasoning and they've won a very respectable 0 Championships in the last 14 seasons, what is your reasoning for saying I don't know what I'm talking about. Seems you're projecting there genius
No one wants the Yankees
I mean...there are PLENTY of people who disagree with that.
Yea I wouldn’t
But it would be fun to rebuild them
I thought about doing the Yankees for my franchise for my channel.
Shut up
Yankee fan Im rebuilding them in in 2026 I traded Cole in 2024 Dj Rizzo caise there contracts were too much and they were not doing well
First
YES!
this the show 24 is garbage only minor upgrades. trash game. same Rtts and franchise mode same bullsht garbage 😂😮
Then don't buy it or play it or comment here lol. Miserable fuck.
