The best hitting stadiums and swings

[Sajiky]

Can anyone list some of the best stadiums for hitting in general and home runs in particular?

Also is there any effective difference in the swings you can choose for getting more hits and or more power, and if so what are some of the best swings to use.

Just trying to get some thoughts for my rtts player. Took me 3 years of almost constant begging too finally convince the Yankees to trade me (they stink in my rtts 0 playoff appearances so far and the would constantly trade all thier better players (except me I asked over and over as soon as the option to ask was available, they finally did it in 2019))

So I got traded to the red Sox who are at least competitive. With the green monster and all would they be a good place to sign long term with?

There was a similar topic today, so I'm linking it. You can check my post in that topic if you want a detailed answer.

My "it's 1:00am and I'm too tired to give a detailed answer" is the following:

Best Homer Parks
Fenway (because the 310 wall in left and the 302 right wall)
Yankees (the devs themselves said this is the easiest park to hit homers in)
Minute Maid (very short right and left wall, but the longest wall in baseball at center)
Oriole (the park is just small in general)
Coors (despite the park's size, its at a very high altitude, producing more homers)
All American (it's where the home run contest takes place so yeah...)


To answer your other question, the developers are still being mysterious to what does behind the scenes with hitting. But this is my experience

Normal Swing (X or right stick up) - Use this 90 percent of the time. It's an all around swing.
Contact (Circle or right stick to the side) - Use this if you need to hit the ball into play. It dramatic increases the chance that you make contact with the ball. For example, a count where you have 2 strikes and need to prevent yourself from striking out. It's weaker than the normal swing but you still can get homers with it)
Power (Square or right stick down then up) - You shouldn't really every use this unless you absolutely know they are going to throw a strike. For example, 3-0 or 3-2. It's much harder to get contact on the ball but it dramatically increases how hard you hit the ball

The best feeling in this game, when you know it's going to be a strike and you prepare with a power swing then BANGGG! You know the "when you do the bat flip with your controller" feeling.

However the power swing should be used rarely, and now, with the new analog system it's completely useless... With analog I'm always late with the power swing due to the increased time to push up the stick from the down position. So, I don't use it anymore...

Re: The best hitting stadiums and swings

Thanks guys. I actually didn't explain my question about the swing correctly.

I understand the different swing types (power, contact, and normal) I was asking about the types of swings you can select as animations for your rtts player. There are dozens of options. Do those different swings affect the physics of hitting the ball? Or are they purely decorative. It seems like if there is some type of physics model used for how the bat swings through the ball then some swings would be better then others.

Also you listed coors as a park for hitting hrs, so they modeled in the altitude factor somehow? I'm actually from Colorado so wouldn't mind playing my rtts career there, but I just assumed that it would be just another decent sized Park without the altitude.

Yes the altitude has an effect in game. Thats where my biggest HRs have been hit. Some 470+ FT.

Sweet, thanks, guess I might get to play for my hometeam, assuming they are at least somewhat competitive when I hit free agency.

Any info on the swing animations?

I am fairly certain swing animations have zero effect on the outcome of a hit and are simply cosmetic.
