Park factors are nothing more than Part of an equation for League Totals and Modifiers. One thing to consider is that a general rule is,Player ratings don't create the Stats, League Totals and Modifiers do. Player ratings distribute the Stats.
So when a Stadium has a LHB HR Modifier of 1.20 you can expect there to be approx. 20% More LHB Homers than would normally be hit in that park during the season in question. The Era and actual Stats produced for any given Season are the Basis for the calculations, without that it would be impossible to determine the Starting Point for the equation. It is NEVER based on Individual Player Stats, Only on League Totals and/or Totals in a selected Park compared across the League average
While setting Players up with player creation "Base Current Ratings on neutralized Stats" is supposed to put everyone on a level playing field as far as Era's are concerned, I Don't believe it works as well as we'd hoped it would. Or maybe even at all for that matter, I haven't heard any new news on that lately
