Park factors not totaling to a 1.000 average across the board is not a problem as far as skewing the overall stats of a league since OOTP sets the LTMs with the park factors in place to get the overall league stats in line with what they should be.

The problem with the factors not averaging to 1.000 is that you cannot know exactly what the actual affect of the factors are by just looking at the settings.

For instance, if the park factors of one category in a league average out to say 1.500, then a park with a 1.000 setting is actually below average in that league and not neutral. A park factor setting of 1.200 would actually be below average and so when you look at the home/road stats for that category the team should perform better on the road.

If all the factors average to 1.000 then you'd know to expect a team with a 1.200 factor to perform better at home.
