You mentioned that you upped the HR-hitting abilities for players in the Texas League because the leaguie's stadiums were smaller than average. But by increasing HR-hitting talent, wouldn't that create players who ACTUALLY are good home run hitters, rather than just players who seem better due to the parks they play in, but are no better than equivalent players in other leagues. Wouldn't it be better to create the effect you wanted by letting the Texas League create players who hit Home Runs at a level equal to similar leagues, but making the Texas ballparks smaller in order to push up the Home Run values? Perhaps I misunderstood.
I think you did misunderstand. The changes I discussed to the Texas League to increase homers was in the league totals....similiar to league totals in OOTP6. I would also make the ballparks homerun setting higher as well. I did not mean to imply I would increase the power ability of the Texas Leaguers. However, for my Western Canada League which was an independant minor league not associated with the majors I did consider increase the homer totals in the league equivilancies.

What I was trying to convey with that statement was that each level (majors, AAA, AA etc) can have it's own league totals as opposed to OOTP6 where you had no options to set league totals for minor leagues.
