Hitters Ballparks vs Pitchers Ballparks

[cmutat17]

Hey,


Does playing in hitter friendly and pitching friendly ballparks make a difference in this game?

I know that they have park effects for Colorado in the game. The parks are also built to spec so you'll want fast guys in your OF at KC and COL. I'd say yes would be a simple answer to your question.

Wait, they have park effects for Coors Field in the game? Like, the ball goes further in Colorado than other parks? I always thought this didn't exist in the game...

Yes the ball carries like crazy in Coors

I would say yes based on my experience. I've found that I'm more likely to have an offensive game in Great American Ballpark as opposed to Busch Stadium.

It does make a difference.

Surely the distance and trajectory the ball travels when hit is independent of which stadium you're playing in (except Coors, I guess), and therefore a ball that would be a HR in one park would not be a HR in another and vice versa. So the stadium absolutely makes a difference, and arguably the same difference as IRL.
