Best Computer Game Teams

As an avid sports Computer Game fan, I wondered how good other people's teams were.
On NHL '06, this is my team (Detroit Red Wings), complete with overall attributes. This is the team in the third season in franchise mode.

I have a lot of backups, who are all rookies, or second year players; ranging from about 55 to 75 in rating.
N.B. Some of the players on the list above were rookies, so you may not recognise their names.
What are other people's teams like? I reckon mine is pretty darn good, and would be a good all-star team, let alone franchise.
On High Heat MLB 2003, I did a fantasy draft. It doesn't have franchise mode, so this is the first season. My lineup (no ratings on game):
- Reggie Sanders (RF)
- Ricky Sands (2B)
- Gary Sheffield (DH)
- Mike Piazza (C)
- Richie Sexson (1B)
- Jose Hernandez (SS)
- Ruben Sierra (LF)
- Russ Branyan (3B)
- Tom Staley (CF)
My reserves are ok, all average about .200 off about 15 at bats each, one is a good baserunner (has over 10 SB).
By bullpen:
S Mark Mulder
S Mike Matthews
S Ramiro Mendoza
S Karl Yamaha
S Chris George
R Jeff Nelson
R Felix Rodriguez
R Mike Stanton
R Arthur Rhodes
R Sean Lowe
R Nick Neugebaur (can't remember spelling)
C Mariano Rivera
In general, my batting is brilliant, but other than Mulder and Matthews, my starters are a bit dodgy. Also Lowe and Neugebaur are quite awful. I'm in May, and Rivera is currently 0-0, 0.70 ERA, with 8 saves. My best batter is Sexson, who is averaging over .400, and has 10 HRs, and 31 RBIs. Sheffield has had about 20 walks though. Although I am top of the AL East (with NYY), the whole division is weak, I am two games clear with a losing record! (15-16) Sanders, Staley and Sands have already stolen over 20 bases each.
So, there you have it. Does anyone have better teams? I would put my Madden NFL 2005 team here, but I can't remember it all. Also, I've gone through 10 years with it, and I only have one player that started the game left in my team (Ryan Longwell at 39).
