Longest Home Run

[CardiffBlue]

Longest I've seen: 518 feet!

Anyone beat that?

I hit one recently and the play by play just said “one of the longest ever hit at Wrigley.” Does anyone know if there is a way to see how far it actually went?

The distance will be in the game log.

I think you can just make a huge stadium with a high home run factor and get a lot of very long home runs

This was at an unmodified Rogers Centre in Toronto - Just didn't think I'd ever seen one over 500 feet before!

That was going to be my answer, too. Then I tried it out.

I made a park with 625-750-800-850-775-700-600 dimensions. And HR park effects of 4.000. Then I started an exhibition game.

It's in the third inning and there have been six INSIDE THE PARK homers.

I've been advocating for Markus to fix ISTP homers for over a decade. This is just one game in an extreme park, but I think he did it. And I hadn't noticed until just now.

Thank you Markus!!

Note: It's pretty funny... I'm using a standard 3D model, so it doesn't look gigantic. But I think the fielders motions are being slowed down to compensate. It takes forever to get to a ball up the gap. Then the cutoff man gets the ball as the runner approaches third, and holds the ball a very long time, the runner never stops, and the result is an ISTP homer. The game is now up to like eight or ten ISTPers. I think I also made the BA and triples park effects very high and it's 18-9 in the bottom of the 3rd.

I've noticed when you crush home runs over i think 485 feet, there is no sound of the ball hitting the bat. The monster shots are silent

By the way... I got what I wanted. The Vernal Vermin beat the Aspen Wealthy 60-56 on a walk-off, 723-foot grand slam homer. After like 30 ISTP homers, it ends on a 723-foot over-the-fence moon shot. Oh, and it was Mike McCullough's (the 9th place hitter) sixth homer of the day, five ISTP.

That might be the craziest game out of the millions of games ever played on OOTP. Or at least in the running.

723 feet with an EV of 88 mph? Did it picked up by a tornado?

We may have broken the model with a park that big. Not sure how the velocity is calculated.

Even in a vacuum a projectile with an exit velocity of 88mph and an optimal angle will only go about 520 feet.

So, yea, tornado.

Or some *extreme* backspin
Was it hit off a curve ball?

Don't know, but I doubt 723 feet off a 88mph exit velocity is possible on Earth, even with physically unrealizable backspin. At a high enough spin rate I think the ball would come back like a boomerang, if it didn't disintegrate first.

It's possible they were playing in a part of Colorado with anomalous local gravity. Reeeeeeaaally anomalous, like a medium sized asteroid.

Matt said in the other thread that walk-off homers weren't checking the factor that made ITPHRs the norm in huge parks and that that will be fixed.

That's why really old books like the Bible and the Torah had a lot more miracles and guys living to be 800 and giants and stuff. They hadn't done as much QC on the code back in the day. One day God looks up and says, well, heck, I didn't think to check what happens in that weird situation and suddenly Methuselah is 969. Then he wrote a bug report, changed the code, and now we only live to 100.

Also when you steal your code from someone else

Maybe he is playing on Mars.
