LTMs pretty much control everything. For example if you set the park factor for every team for home runs to .800 but leave the LTMs unchanged, then league total HRs will be comparable to the totals in real life, not 80%.
If you have a player like Todd Helton who played for Colorado in real life. Coors park factor in real life probably accounted for 3 or 4 extra HRs a year. If his home team in OOTP is Coors field, he will essentially have a double park factor boost and hit 6-8 more home runs than at a neutral park. Since league totals will be the same, those extra home runs by Helton come at the expense of someone else.
