danquiz333 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 MVP 2005 is not measuring home runs accurately. The distance is calculated based on where it lands, not where it is expected to land. For example, in RFK I can hit a 424 ft. HR that goes under the outfield deck. But, if I hit the deck onning (presumably a much longer HR) it says 390 or so. Any fix for this?

Actually if you hit the deck, it would be shorter as the ball would travel further under the deck, but the ball would go shorter if it were hit on the awning.

danquiz333 Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 true maybe that was a bad example. I've noticed this in every stadium. Distance should be measured by projected path (as it was in 2004). The distance measurement shouldn't stop when the path of the ball is stopped. In 2005, a HR that hit the roof of a stadium and fell down just past the fence would be measured the same as a HR that barely cleared the fence. Is anyone else experiencing this?

That's just the way baseball does it. I apparently can't find the article now, but I read a while ago that each stadium measures differently. Some measure by where it hit, others calculate it out as if it didn't get stopped by the stadium. Here are a couple neat links though. http://stuffo.howstuffworks.com/question704.htm http://curvebank.calstatela.edu/baseball/baseball.htm http://www.baseball-almanac.com/feats/art_hr.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
