Q. 2... The Rockies again or are you going to switch it up?
There was that (which according to the developers, that was because of their contract with MLB and the licenses determining who is part of the player's association and what not), there was an issue with carried over saves rewriting your 15 profile with your 14 profile, an issue with end of year awards. For the OSFM rosters, when the guys are making them, they put injured players (as of opening day) in Single A on the roster, then you can make any moves as needed in your franchise. There appears to be an issue with Y2Y saves where players like Aroldis Chapman and others, who started the season in Single A due to injury on the OSFM rosters, may end up replaced with random created players in 15, so Single A players may not carry over.

Some other issues that have been noted (may not necessarily be solely because of Y2Y saves, but possible ties to them include default weather always being clear skies (never any variation, forcing the user to manually pick different weather options if they want them instead of the game randomly deciding). There is also a random bug that some people have had with every game being presented as the Opening Day game, and someone hitting a home run and it being presented as their first career home run in their first career game (despite having over 150 home runs in their career). Also mentioned has been people still having Petco Park as the site of the 2015 All-Star Game, not Great American Ballpark. They would also get an email after the home run derby congratulating them on winning it, despite not even getting out of the first round.

A lot of it could be characterized as minor things and some may or may not be caused directly by Y2Y saves, but all of it added up, sort of ruins the immersion of the franchise. And since I was only two games in, it's not like it'll be a bunch of effort lost restarting.

As for what team, Rockies are still on the list, but I am thinking about maybe switching teams. Similar to NCAA, going outside my comfort zone and running with new and unfamiliar teams sort of adds to the franchise for me on a personal level. Makes it more interesting trying to learn the new players, the new team, the new skills, etc. If I do go with someone other than the Rockies, just based on teams that I would or wouldn't want to play as, plus I want a team with at least a decent farm system so I can work on building them up over the years as well as having trade bait.

If I stay in the National League, I'd probably roll with the Chicago Cubs, as there's not too many others I'd want to play as. I really couldn't care less about the Giants, Diamondbacks, Marlins, Brewers, Mets, etc, you're with the Padres in RTTS, Cardinals, Nationals, Braves, etc are too good for my interest, I want someone who is up and coming or worse.

If I go American League, maybe the Cleveland Indians (decent team that is missing one or two players for a playoff run, with some stars and some future big name players on the farm system), the Detroit Tigers (a team with aging stars and a barren dustbowl for a farm system, who may have reached their peak for playoffs/World Series a year or two ago and now will be headed downhill until they enter rebuilding) or the Toronto Blue Jays (a team also with some aging stars, but some good young players and a couple good prospects to either help build up or use as trade bait).
