2047 Change

[AndyP]

The last few years we've had some kind of stadium effect misunderstanding seemingly every year. I'm wanting to just simplify things so that building stadiums and adjusting stadiums is as simple as possible. So here's the deal:

All parks will go back to having their effects and park factor calculated in game. The rules about infield quality, errors, etc. will remain.

So those of you that want to keep your park a certain way going forward (A pitcher's park, hitter's park, etc.) will need to post what you want your effects to look like. Matty also has a tally of alterations we can work off of.

This takes place at the beginning of the 2047 season, so if you have any concerns or want to make your desired effects known, please do so.

Here's how the new guidelines will read...

New Stadium Guidelines

1. Effects will be re-calculated in-game

2. Effects may come under a "sanity check" by admins (i.e. we don't want to see 186 HR factor in COL)

A few restrictions will still apply:

1. Infield Quality cannot be changed from Average (Errors and Double Plays will be fixed at 100)

2. Visibility will make strikeouts as follows...
Poor = 108
Fair = 104
Average = 100
Good = 96
Excellent = 92

Stadium Upgrade Guidelines

Upgrade Convenience/Comfort/Sight Lines
To figure out your cost go to BUDGET...BUILD STADIUM...

Note your initial "TEAM PAYS" amount and what it shows after you have made your changes. The difference, rounded down to the nearest $Million will be your cost.

EXAMPLE: If you start with a TEAM PAYS of $147.580M and by increases your TEAM PAYS changes to $231.057M you would pay $83M.

Seating Expansion
Cost is $1M per 100 Seats

Infield Quality: Cannot be changed (Everyone is set at Average)
Infield Grass: Everyone defaults at Average...Cost is $2.5M per Level
Visibility: Cost is $5M per Level
Foul Ground: Cost is $2.5M per Level
Install Turf/Grass: Cost is $10M
OF Dimensions: Cost is $25M

Upgrades to real stadiums may come under a "sanity check" by admins.

All changes are subject to admin approval

Only teams that have made alterations that effected their park factors can make desired changes at no cost. The list I have include:

ATL
BAL
CHC
CIN
CLE
LAD
MIL
MIN
NYM
NYY
OAK
SDP
SFG
