Standardized Parks

blasek0 · 09-20-2013, 01:42 PM

Just had a crazy-ish idea, have a checkbox during league creation that will standardize park factors across the league. You define one stadium, with the park factors of your choice (so every stadium could be early 2000s Coors, if you wanted), and every stadium is built with identical park factors to those.

Not saying it's for everybody, but it might be an interesting option for those of us in fictional leagues. I'd like to see how the leaderboards change if every single park was perfectly neutral to batters of either hand, without having to go through the effort of setting up every single park individually (and the minor league parks, ugh).

Just choose Coors for all teams. In my White Sox vs Cubs league 14 teams play in US Cellular 14 in Wrigley. took 2 mins to setup.

But the point is that I might want to create a customized stadium that isn't anything like something that already exists. I was using Coors as an example.

I agree it's not *that* hard to do, but it'd be nice if there was a simple option that assigned identical stadiums league-wide without having to change every single stadium to mimic "stadium A" individually.

This i can get behind. When creating a new league I usually go through every ballpark in the known baseball universe and change any dome or retractable roof stadium to an outdoor one. It can take a bit of time, but I prefer baseball being played outside. Though, I realize this may be a niche thing.
