dusti Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I noticed some deep hit balls @ Tampa & Toronto where the ball distance meter that shows up at 300 ft. seems off. I've seen home runs where the meter said a number lower than what the wall right there said. And the ball would land on the second deck! Other times it would be the other way around, it says it's long enough but dosen't make the track. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this?

slickmarcusvick Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Yeah, the meter takes longer to register than the speed of the ball going out of the park, but the distance catches up to the ball sometime when you're guy is rounding the bases Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/11498-ball-distance-wall-distance/#findComment-143472 Share on other sites More sharing options...
acpython1 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 The problem with the distance counter is that it stops as soon as the ball makes contact with the stands. A right-field upper-deck home run in Yankee stadium registers around 320-340 feet according to MVP, whereas the distance measurement they use on ESPN or other networks usually has it about 100 feet further than that. I haven't hit a homerun over 500 feet except in minor league or spring training ballparks, where there are no obstructions to screw up the distance counter.

rdsk Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I mean literally the distance of a flyball that is caught by the LF in front of the wall with the 328ft sign will be measured as something like 370ft by the game. Did I really hit a home run ball but got screwed by the game? Or was it really just a flyball? I will never find out unfortunately and that's frustrating. Especially if that ball is a game decider.

RonBurgundy Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Yeah, it kinda pissed me off that I hit a SHOT with A-Rod to the very absolute back of the center-field batter's-eye at Yankee Stadium(about 500 Ft. from home) and all I get on the distance is 450 Ft.

rdsk Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 This has happened to me once out of maybe around 50 hits to near OF wall at Rogers Centre and that's the only time it happened in any ballpark. So it's by no means a common occurance. Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/11498-ball-distance-wall-distance/#findComment-143930 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxkid23 Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 I have noticed this too. I hit a HR last night in owner mode with Joe Crede of CHW... was playing TB in Ebbets Field mod.. I hit the HR clear OVER the LF stands.. distance was measured at 479 FT.. what a bomb!

rolliefingers08 Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 haven't noticed this problem, however i've noticed balls being caught right against the wall (say 400 ft) registering at something like 380. there is no way when his back is against the wall that there's 20 feet of space.
