Deadball Homeruns

[King of New York]

Hi,

I have started six different historical replays over the last couple of days, beginning with the 1901 season, but each time I run into the same issue: the number of home runs is much too high. Historically, the total for each league was in the low 200s, but I keep getting two or three teams that individually pass the 200-home-run mark by the midpoint of the season.

I must have something set up incorrectly (I have not touched the game engine settings--everything is still at "50".) Perhaps it has something to do with the stadiums (I am not using any mods).

Any ideas would be welcome!

I think you might want to take a look at the older stadiums a lot of them were huge.

What he said.  Have you set the stadiums to their proper historical ones?

I'll check the stadiums when I get home tonight--I was just using whatever stadiums were assigned to each team when I started the historical replay. Is it the case that, when you start a reply for, say, 1901, the correct stadiums are not automatically assigned to each team, and that you have to do it manually?

If so, that's fine--I just hadn't realized.

Thanks for answering such n00bish questions [:)]

That is the case.  You must manually set them.
