TheKillerNacho Posted July 26, 2023 Author Share Posted July 26, 2023 4 hours ago, Tk3 said: Looks like Home is 31-29 I don't have the energy to look at previous seasons.. but I feel like that's probably a bit of an anomaly. Nacho has said in the past that there is a home field advantage built in, and I would assume there is usually a bit of a gap between home and away To clarify, there is a slight boost just for being at home but it's pretty small (although higher for teams playing within a Dome & how different the time zones are). However, the other bit of value (for non-Dome teams) comes with weather - playing at home means your stadium settings are used to determine it, and teams are further buffed/debuffed depending on how far their own stadium settings deviate from the randomly selected weather. Even things like "dry air" and "humid air" can negatively impact a team whose stadium has a high precipitation or low precipitation, respectively (as well as having global effects like wind affecting the passing & kicking game and snow affecting the running game substantially). That said, HFA isn't a huge factor. Disregarding weather, when two identical teams are simmed against eachother, the home team will win around 53% of the time (give or take). Although extremely favorable conditions could increase this to as much as 60% (without even considering how the global weather effects). Also one should note that Stadium settings can be a double-edged sword in general - if you set them to be very unique you will increase your homefield advantage by a noticeable degree, but likely hurt your ability to play on the road (depends who your home/away matchups are though; it may be possible to minmax it to some degree). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
