Designed a park to eliminate cheap homers.
-
Everyday I play RS, My opponent always picks one of the meta high elevation stadiums…I decided to build my own to counter cheap home runs. It took alot of tweaking but after a couple weeks of testing it’s finally perfect. The longest fences possible combined with 1 foot elevation and no animation to eliminate lag while also being a very ascetically pleasing place to play. I’ve used it online for 2 weeks to make sure it plays as designed. You can still hit homers with anyone but they must be perfect perfects. I have not had a single homerun that wasn’t perfect perfect. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have making it. For those of you that want a true baseball simulation - Give it a try.

@IrishFist412 I’ll be downloading later today. Thank you!

Same nice work I'll give it shot tonight

I hate the shield woods/created ballpark games as much as anyone but you need some elevation in this game for it to play well. Shippett with the lowered elevation is pretty good. Last year I designed a ballpark that was bigger than Shippett and slightly lower elevation and that was pretty good.
Perfect swings aren’t the only good swings. Balls can be squared up and should leave on good contact too. Needs to be somewhere in between Costco and your solution I think

Date Palm field is the best imo
-
@IrishFist412 stupid question but how do you find created stadiums and download them?

Upper right corner of start screen, click create, stadium creator than pick the vault, most popular or recent uploads, search for stadium ,then download.

Not every HR in real life is a perfect perfect. I’d argue that your version is also not a true simulation.

The game is always going to have too many HRs to be a true sim. Shield Woods just feels wrong though. I don't care about my record so I quit shield woods on ranked every time, but will play Laughing Mountain or Coors

Yup. See the Jeter Storylines
I'll download the stadium, though. -
@TheGoaler Don’t have a problem with the stadium or someone wanting to play that way. Just don’t think that makes it closer to a true sim at all. Don’t think SDS has any interest in making this game a true sim anymore either.

Diamond Dynasty isn't a simulation mode either though. If you want "sim", then go play Franchise or try Online Ranked.

I'll give it a shot.

I don’t play online usually but I will pick laughing mountain park for the doubles

People generally don't want a true sim, I think people want an exaggerated form of baseball with more offense but without being the MLB equivalent of NBA Jam, which Shield Woods can turn into.
The other factor is that modes like BR give heavy incentives to putting up a lot of runs so you have to play less games. Ill play Coors sometimes for this reason, but my defaults are Date Palm (good balance), PNC (best MLB park irl), or Citi Field (Mets fan)

@Teak2112 I don't think excessive hrs would be a problem if it didn't come from every single player on the team. If your team is effectively 9 iterations if Barry Bonds that's no where near a simulation. At all.
