bc it rewards good user input the most out of any stadium. Sure there are slightly more “bad” hrs there, but hitters that frequently achieve better input in than their opponents will win the vast majority of their games there. Can’t say the same for other stadiums. I think other stadiums definitely benefit hitters that aren’t as good, but ig it’s all personal preference and ppl are more likely to play in stadiums that benefit themselves.
Mitch you’re a very good player and I’m not suggesting you can’t hit well away from shippet, but I feel totally the opposite. You’re more likely to get rewarded at shippet if you have bad input, for example you get under the ball for what would be a fly out anywhere else and it carries out for a homer.
Imo the bad hits are anomalies. I’d much rather deal with those than more lineouts and warning track fly balls. At shippett, I can overcome the bad hits by hitting well myself and getting rewarded. At other stadiums, I’ve found that bloopers determine outcomes of games more often.
However, I’m not one of those guys that plays home only. Can’t stand those types. I’m willing to play at any stadium, even tho I don’t like most of the stadiums. And I’ve definitely seen a lot more lineouts and fly outs to the track on really good pci placement at other stadiums.
I have 11 losses this year in like 90 games and I think the majority of those came in mlb stadiums. I think mlb stadiums and some minor league stadiums keep bad players in the game because it’s tough to get rewarded or tough to see the ball because of a bad batter’s eye, which diminishes the skill gap by making hitting determined more by luck than skill.
Yeah, that’s why I opened my reply by making it clear that I don’t think that you use shippet as a crutch, because I’ve seen you play. That said, a lot of players that aren’t good play exclusively at shippet to boost their hitting stats. I play minor league stadiums myself, just not laughing mountain or shippet. Offense already outweighs defense by a huge margin in this game, I don’t feel it needs boosting any further.
