I've seen a couple 500-footers.

Bear in mind that if you create ballpark with fences 600 feet away from homeplate, but don't adjust the HR modifiers to suit, you'll see a lot of 600+ foot dingers.

Adjusting HR modifiers means nothing. Fence distance sets the tone. Inside the play engine the result is a HR matching it to the park distances comes later. In a 500ft stadium that would be a 607ft HR

I think his point was that if you change the distance but not the modifier, you'll see the same amount of homers you would at a normal distance, leading to a lot of 600-foot-plus homers. If you adjust the modifier to make homers realistic in a stadium with 500-foot fence, you'll see almost no home runs at all and virtually none over 600 feet.

Yep, that's what i meant

Sorry I wasn't clearer!

I've seen homers with comments such as "they'll have to find it to measure it". So, no distance given but clearly a long ball.

I have one the other way around: my 1B blasted a popup / monster 315 foot shot down the RF foul line and around the Pesky Pole in Fenway.

If you play out games with sound on, the real crushed home runs of over 450ft make no sound off the bat.
