The pinned thread still shows the old ballparks. Glad this finally went forward, let’s make the new park factors easily available.

P.S. Add Polar Park (Worcester, MA). :)

Yes please. My world is currently approaching the WS, presumably this change will go into effect after rollover.
Would be nice to scout ballparks for next season!

Agreed. I need a new defensive park.

Change went into effect before the PM game cycle today, mid season in all 3 worlds I am in. I'd guess it is already implemented in your world as well which would suck for you if your team is built for one of the extreme parks.

Personally I don't like the update. By making most pitcher or hitter friendly ballparks more neutral, it takes away a strategy many owners used in HBD. I enjoyed making my teams match up with the ratings of the more extreme ballparks. With most ballparks now similar, why even have ballpark ratings anymore?

Hello, I have added the ballpark update spreadsheet to the top of the HBD forums.

I wish the update and changes could have been posted prior to implementation and, if possible, only affect worlds as they rolled over. Anyone who built a team around a hitter or pitching park just got hosed mid-season.

Yeah, no official announcement that the change was happening isn't a good way to do business, regardless of when it happens during a season.
