Ballpark factors on franchise profile card Topic

I think it would be a useful addition to add the ballpark factors to the franchise profile card, whether it be a separate tab such as roster, coaches, history, etc. or just listed next to the ballpark name or somewhere in the top box.

I just came across a player on waivers in one of my worlds with seemingly decent ratings but god awful stats for the past couple of seasons and I wondered what type of park he had played in and if that may have been a factor. But to find out his home park's rating, I had to leave the waiver wire screen and head over to the ballpark report screen. It would be nice to just be able to pop up his current franchise's profile and get a quick look instead of having to leave the screen altogether, and then head back to it should i decide to take a chance and claim him.

Minor suggestion, of course, but I'm lazy and would find it useful. Especially when it comes to non-MLB cities like Scottsdale, New Britain, etc where I haven't the slightest clue if they're a hitter's or pitcher's park.

I understand your frustration. I go the Game Log and click on their last home game box score. A workaround, I guess, and it won't work if they haven't been playing, but at least you don't have to leave the screen.

There are a lot of ideas, similar to this, that would be helpful time-savers.   Park adjusted stats, league average comparisons by position, etc, etc.   Unfortunately, it would probably bog down the program and our 11:20 sim would start running at 12:18 or something.

Great idea but I just don't know how practical it would be.

If it's something that would bog down the sim I'd rather be without it. I'm assuming though it would be a simple cosmetic adjustment but, then again, I'm no programmer/designer so I really haven't a clue. It would certainly be a nice time saver though.
