Does Ballpark affect results?

I just finished a game where I hit 11 HR in Yankee Stadium...I've never hit more than 4 in a game before.

I'm sure Yankee Stadium had something to do with it, but I think it may also be time to move up to the next difficulty level.

I get a ton of wall scrapers when playing there. Thats the only place that I have ever had Ichiro or Brett Gardner hit a homerun at. They barely clear the outfiel wall at the short poarch. Would be an easy out at any other park. Still the most I have ever hit in a game there is 5.

Something was going on...there was no wind either. Most of mine were long...over 400 with one at 461.

Yankee stadium usually finishes top 3 year in and year out for homeruns in real life. IIRC i think it is usually number one. I do remember a couple years ago when us cellular field (white sox) finished first. i dont remember the stats clearly but im sure if you are interested you can look them up.

Give some thought to the Reds and Great American Ballpark if your wanting to hit homers. Small dimensions and short walls.

Also go to park factors website. Has all the info you need to pick a stadium.

In terms of winning/losing effects, yes the pirates still can never win a series in Milwaukee

Some people say the thin air of Coors Field is in the game and some people say it isn't. I haven't been playing the MLB series that long (I am only in my 2nd season with the series), but as someone who chooses to play with the Colorado Rockies in this game, my Rockies players and the opposition tend to hit more home runs away from Coors Field than they hit at this ball park.
