Beginning to look awesome already...

Guys, question regarding Ballpark Factors...

Are those just numbers reflecting the dimensions of the park? (with weather effects brought in possibly...)

Or do these numbers actually alter overall hits , like HRs, in the game...

Reason I ask, is I just noticed the ballpark factors that come up for Coors Field 2018 (gorgeous as usual), after I "auto-calculate" them (which I am SUPPOSED to be doing right?), show HR factors of less than .800...

This might make sense based on the sheer size of the park, but it's still a launching pad for HRs, so those HRs seem low, lower than many other parks...

Should I be adjusting those factors so I don't get numbers as if they were playing in the Grand Canyon? Or are they just informational and don't affect the game engine?

Thanks
Swede
