Statistically, the home team should prevail about 55% of the time. Not in OOTP4, however. Seems like a simple matter to fix, odd that it wasn't!

Peter, I've seen this vary largely from league to league. I just did some quick research on a couple of online leagues that I'm in. A modern-day, fictional league, after 3 complete seasons, yielded a home-field record of 1831-1865, which is a 0.495 W%. However, in another league, a dead-ball league with real players, home teams went 2701-2668 in 4+ seasons, which is a 0.503 W%. So, I imagine a league can have a pretty large swing from one end of the spectrum to another. It's tough to generalize by saying home teams always have a losing record without a ton of collected data, which is the case with pretty much any trend or stat included in OOTP.
