Home Field Advantage

ramairluvr · 06-16-2010, 12:45 PM

This may have already been covered before, but being deployed my coonectivity isn't reliable enough for me to do a search. In previous versions, there was an option to enable home field advantage throught the regular season. Is that feature still available? If so, I haven't seen it; where would it be located?

It's already built into the engine. It has been debated in a recent thread, but by most accounts it's working as designed without any toggle on your part.

Sweet...thanks.

That's debatable. I think the evidence shown in a thread awhile back demonstrated that home field advantage is a bit low in OOTP.

Working as designed might differ a 'bit' from working as desired.

As the starter of that thread, I eventually found through testing that the home field advantage in the game gyrates rather wildly from season to season. In real MLB this stat channels predictably from 52-55%, 47-59% in OOTP. But you end up in roughly the same place.
