Get rid of "park factors" alltogether and base them on dimensions, maybe "elevation" and weather in that city.

Reason
Because that's how it is in real life. You don't build a stadium that has a "1.05 HR factor for lefty's" you just build a stadium with certain dimensions. And things like foul territory directly affect batting average's, etc.

Priority
Medium...I've always found this to be a problem in OOTP. I enjoy "building" funky stadiums, but it doesn't quite work when you have to change the factors too.
I agree.

Check out www.hittrackeronline.com for an illustration of how this could be incorporated.
