Im not sure if Im the only one that wants em- but I desperately would like some more ballparks.

Without going into details, there are some strategies which I would like to employ but dont have a ballpark that matches em- so am asking that along with our new players, can we get some more added?


Thank You

I 2nd that e motion.

I am all for more choices...But, does it really make a difference? 90% of the guys here play in the same 10 ballparks. In a 12 team league, you have 2 Hilltops, 2 Minute maid Parks, etc...

Is there a compiled list of park usage and w-l records, plus championship info? A chart like the individual one on our own page, but compiled with everyones stats? I think that would be interesting.

I know- but Im not one of those guys- and I know Pet is not one of those guys either.
There are certain strategies that will open up to me if we get some parks that fit the bill.

But, you are absolutely right Zim- I see that happening- everyone emulates stuff when they are learning to play- but at some point, shouldn't we at least attempt to be original?

I do not disagree w/you. Like I said, I am all for more choices.

I would love to play in a league where everyone had to play in a unique stadium. I do not think there should be more than 1 of the same stadium in a league.

Personally, I would like to see stadium selection added to the waivers process. So say so pick Hilltop and you lose all your power righty bat picks in the auto-draft. There would be a waivers list just for stadiums. You would get a shot at drafting a new stadium if it isn't already taken.

I know this has been brought up before. And some guys were against it. But, I don't know why it would be an issue. In Live Drafts, you select your stadium after the draft. So why is it ok to do it in Live drafts where you have control over drafting your roster and not okay to change the stadium in an auto-draft where you have no real control over drafting your roster?

This post got me to wondering. How many different parks have I played in, with my teams, in ATG6? I had no idea, so I went back and counted up. 66 ATG6 teams (incl. one in G7 of the finals tonight and one in preseason). Of those 66 teams, I have used 46 different parks. Three parks I have used 5 times each - Minutemaid, Polo '41 and Fenway '67. Eight others I have used twice. That leaves 35 other teams that played in 35 different parks. That's a pretty decent sampling of parks, I think. But, there are still plenty I haven't tried yet. :)

I've used 55 different parks so far in 6.

Sure, what kind of parks are we talking about?

Cool-

How specific should I get? As in should i give the specific Righty Lefty breakdown I want to see?
I dont have a list of possibilities from the game so maybe someone who does can find matches for these?

Id like to see for example:

Righty HR 1(low) Lefty HR 18(high) Righty Singles High Lefty Singles Low

Righty HR 5-7 Lefty HR 0-1 Righty singles Low Lefty Singles High

Righty HR 10-12 Lefty HR Low Righty Singles low/medium Lefty Singles High

Righty HR 1 Lefty HR 10-12 Righty Singles High Lefty Singles High

Right HR 1 Lefty HR 10-12 Righty Singles high Lefty Singles Low

Righty HR 1 Lefty HR 5-7 Righty Singles High Lefty Singles Low

Righty HR 7-10 Lefty HR 1-3 RH Singles Low Lefty Singles med/high

RIghty HR 4 Lefty HR 0- 1 RH Singles High LH Singles Low

Righty HR 2 Lefty HR 0-1 RIghty Singles Medium/High Lefty Sin Med/High

R HR 1 L HR 1 R singles 9-10 L Singles 9-10


Im sure there are more...

How crazy would it be if there was a "Create Your Own Park" variable? You get to name it as well. EX - Modmark's Marina '11 (0, 20/20, 0). :P
