Park Factors from Year to Year

Mike Lowe · 03-31-2016, 12:45 AM

Upon importing our 16 league into 17, we're noticing the park factors have changed.

Is that normal in between seasons? Is it supposed to be happening?

I always thought those were static and reflected the pattern for the park.

Thanks for any info!

Park factors can indeed change year-to-year in real life.

I think he means base when starting any league in a modern setting. Even in a fictional game, if I have a park named Wrigley Field, on initial import the game will put in all the park factors for modern Wrigley Field

And yes for 17 some of the park factors have changed since 16. They will only change on the import (assuming you are not playing historical), thus if you want to change factors this season, they will stay that way for the rest of the current game.

Speaking of park factors.. is there a screen like this in OOTP?
