I'm pretty sure this was never the real purpose of them, but they've grown into it.

The best way (IMHO) to adjust an environment for factors like that is with League Totals and the other environmental variables/modifiers. I think our historical roster developers also work to adjust individual players ratings to affect outcomes, but I think that's a losing game.

Adjusting ballparks can make for such changes, too--though you need to adjust the factors to affect a real change. The dimensions themselves are cosmetic. Make a fence 1,000 feet from home and watch hitters tee off for 1,050 foot dingers. Odd, yes. But true.
