For those that already have the game, does the weather channel work online?

So the weather is determined by where you live and NOT which stadium you are playing in? For example if you live in Texas and play UT vs Rutgers in Rutgers, your weather is determined by where you live in Texas instead of where the game is being played in Rutgers?

I remember a couple of years ago (NCAA '05 i think) if you woke up around 6am and started up a game, it would actually be morning time in the game! I thought that was one of the coolest things ever and I've been waiting for another version to have this.

Hopefully this years' version is the one

The Weather Channel feature uses what the current weather is like at the stadium's location. In your example, the game would be played in whatever weather Piscataway, New Jersey.

Edit: to prove this, just pick any exhibition matchup and go to stadium selection and skim through stadiums. You'll notice the weather changes with each location.

does this also apply for dynasty modes? Or just exhibitions?

i think just exhibitions since the games in dynasty are determined by the preset schedule.

Yea i think Weather Channel actually works online

This sounds like a really cool feature if it actually works on-line. It would give you much more varied weather conditions. Usually when you play on-line it is day time and sunny. Is this is Madden as well?
