Camden Yards

Using the new Beta, hit a couple home runs to left field in the newly designed Camden Yards. The ball didn’t leave the field and looked short. Maybe the graphics aren’t matching the data. Thanks for continuing to make the game better!

When the fields were updated graphically, the ballpark grids were not adjusted. This applies to Camden, Rogers Center, and Comerica Park. You have to go into the 3d editor in the ballpark and adjust them manually. This should have been done by the development team but it appears to have been overlooked. Additionally the ballpark dimensions and factors were not updated from before either. I just did my own editing based on real life information. I used autocalc ballpark factors for Camden and Comerica after correcting the dimension and fence heights. It doesn't always come out right but best we can do without new real life information this season. I didn't autocalc Rogers Center since the tested results end up with reduced home run factors and in real life the changes I think were supposed to increase home runs. The ballpark grids for some of the other included parks can be off at baseline as well so I have edited them myself to match the fence locations better.

I hope they plan on fixing this in a patch. I don't mind adding dimensions and wall heights, that's easy.

Until these upgraded stadiums produce real data it will be a guessing game on what changes should be made to the ballpark factors. Any changes OOTP Dev. makes here will be criticized as "too much" or "too little". Probably best to leave that to each user to decide for now.

On to the grid problem..... I'm not comfortable, nor should I have to, mess with the grids. This should have been done for the patch release. Good news is it's still June so they have plenty of time to fix it.

In post 46 of this thread from two months ago, it was stated that the park factors were updated for Camden Yards already so, based on that, I would not expect to see new ballpark factors in this latest patch... because they are already updated for the season.

Or as was mentioned, the user can adjust them as they like.

Seems like they just missed the grid alternation to align with the new graphic. Good catch.
