Ballparks

One aspect I've yet to hear about are varying ballparks. Can you create your own fields, or designate hitters or pitchers park? Thanks.

Yes, you can create your own fields with whatever dimensions & park factors you choose.

Very cool. Thanks for the heads up.

Also, does the average for all stadiums in the league for each category need to be 100?

I would doubt this has changed. One way or another, the ballpark catagories must have an average, and forcing the average to 100 yourself will be easier to understand than have the game calculate an average of "94" and you then having to know that a 97 is "better" than average.

You know, one thing that might be nice in the future would be a function that would take your league's parks and rescale the effects such that 100 was average for every category.

Fictional parks (or even a league that combines real parks from several leagues) make it kind of difficult to do this without entering everything in a spreadsheet then rebaselining, then reentering the numbers into the game.

I second what CBL suggests; I hated going through hours of tinkering over stadium data and then having it wiped out later because I'd forgotten some setting elsewhere that invalidated the bloody universes' output--which happened a lot. After a time I just quit bothering, but never could get past a little resentment that such a significant part of the creation process was so darn difficult to use and enjoy.

Improved ballpark modelling needs to be on the list for v2008 work.
