OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Home/Away Performance needs to be tweaked

The homefield advantage feature still needs some major tweaking...Almost all teams do better at home in real life (they win 54% of their home games in MLB) than on the road...even poor teams. Look at Tampa Bay, KC, Detroit, Seattle, Cincinnati and LA Dodgers...all had better records at home, despite poor overall records.

I think 80% of the teams in MLB have winning records at home.

This past season 24 of the 31 teams had winning records at home.

In my Alltime Allstar Association only 7 of the 16 teams play better at home.

I hope Markus perfects this feature in Version 7.
