Ball Park Factors

Ozymandius · 06-11-2012, 09:22 PM

Are the factors for these parks affected by other settings in the game? I started a league in 1946 and I looked at Forbes Field and it shows

AVG LHB 1.025
AVG RHB 1.025
Doubles 1.000
Triples 1.000
Home Runs LHB 1.025
Home Runs RHB 1.025

This confused me since I thought if the number was higher than 1.000 that stat is increased. (according to OOTP Manual)

From OOTPMODS.Com I see
AVG LHB 1.082
AVG RHB 0.950
Doubles 1.109
Triples 1.234
Home Runs LHB 0.852
Home Runs RHB 0.682

Am I doing something wrong to see such a huge difference? I want to allow users from a historical players replay league to pick any stadium but want to make sure I am not screwing things up.

The factors change year by year so it's always hard to getthem right.
I've had my doubts about the factors to so i've been using the ones included from that list, plus the fact it's has 696 total parks.

Not sure if the game uses real factors or where it gets it from

The era_ballparks.txt file in the database folder is what can be edited to change the factors in game.
