I, for one, STRONGLY disagree with inputting a home-field advantage in OOTP.
I believe, and I do not have substantiated data to back up my theory, that home-field advantage in OOTP is compensated with the ball park factors. Example: Using Ankit's current ballpark factors, Yankee Stadium has a homerun rating of 117 for lefties and 98 for righties.
Any team manager/owner would try to stock up on lefty power hitters and lefty pitchers. Therein lies the advantage for home teams, as they tend to cater to their ball parks. This should allow for the disparity between home and away winning percentages.
I am not one of those people who believes my way of playing is better than other people's, but I am worried that the over-analyzation and customization can ruin the product per se, much akin to too many cooks spoiling a broth.
When I was in college, I tutored other students in some subjects, and I always told my subjects we could prepare for exams in two ways. We could concentrate on the 95% of the material and get that down pat, or we could concentrate on 5% of the material and make sure we get all of the "trick" questions. I feel like many people are concentrating on the 5% here, rather than the overall game play constituting 95% of the game. I would rather the programmers concentrate on the bigger picture rather than the minor details that would, IMHO, actually
Markus, I hope you take my previous request for CSVs in an upcoming patch:
