So I have been trying to find a way that you can get Dallas close to every time, and I think i have found a somewhat consistent method. I have found it to work about 1/5 tries. Basically what I do is as quickly as possible go to the Team Select screen. I try to wait around 2.5 seconds~ and quickly go down to Chicago. Then pay attention to the star circled in the picture. Once that turns white press a to select Chicago. This method of doing this is what actually happened in Leinkenstein's 8:01. Again this could all be my imagination and this could be completely random, but I feel like I am having better results through this. Tell me if you have some good results! (Edit: I will be providing video evidence soon)
I'll have to try this out. Waiting for Dallas drives me nuts.
