Re: Dear EA. It does NOT rain every freakin' week!

Since I went to OSU I have had only 1-2 rain games and about 1 snow game a year.

But at UCF it would rain every game. And at ISU it freaking snowed every game. It was to the point that I just quit every time I saw rain or snow and restarted the game until it was clear.

Going to show my ignorance here. Didn't realize it snowed often in Iowa.

I've had one in two seasons @ San Diego State University. It was snow @ Air Force, and I got ran off the field 44-14. Other than that usually sunny. I had my first night game versus BYU in week 1 of season 3.

I'm definitely seeing a ton on rainy games. In my current PITT dynasty it has rained 7 out of 10 weeks in year 4. The other 3 it snowed or was sunny.

Re: Dear EA. It does NOT rain every freakin' week!

I'm ok with the weather, too. I enjoy the weather effects. I had a perfect season going a couple of seasons back in my dynasty until I visited a .500 Tennessee team in the snow(!) and was upset - I blame the weird weather. It was pretty cool. Just last night I visited Tennessee for the first time since the loss and had my revenge.

Re: Dear EA. It does NOT rain every freakin' week!

I'm enjoying the variety in weather. I've played at UGA and Miami the last 5 seasons and had about a third of my games in the rain.
I love how the players slip, especially when the QB drops back

Really? That is good.

In previous versions, it would start snowing for games at Wisconsin as early as the first week in October. And I would often get two or more snow games a year.

I have been going to WI football games for over 20 years, and the number of games I have been at where it has snowed has been, I think, two. Neither time had any accumulation.

I have been to one game at Michigan with light flurries, and one at Northwestern with freezing rain/sleet/snow (the most miserable weather I have been to a game in), and it didn't help that WI got destroyed that game. :-P

Basically, if they scaled back the unrealistic amount of time you get games in the snow, I could live with the rain.

Re: Dear EA. It does NOT rain every freakin' week!

After about the 4th rain game in a row, I usually just restart it until I get a some sun. It does seem to get stuck on rain quite a bit.
