Bear in mind that if you create ballpark with fences 600 feet away from homeplate, but don't adjust the HR modifiers to suit, you'll see a lot of 600+ foot dingers.
Adjusting HR modifiers means nothing. Fence distance sets the tone. Inside the play engine the result is a HR matching it to the park distances comes later. In a 500ft stadium that would be a 607ft HR
