Weather in the Show

[A_Quiet_Pro]

Although Baseball isn't played in inclement weather like football or soccer is (so the devs dont have to focus on it too much)... it would be nice to get more weather options for The Show 15. Rain is nice since baseball IS played in a little rain. BUT The Show needs season based weather. Meaning, it'd be nice to have the option to play a play now game using weather from any time of the year (that baseballs played.) Like, if I want to play a play now game and have it be late Spring (where the weather's around 60-65 but a warm 60-65, then I can). Or early fall where the weathers around a cool 60-65, then I can there too). Or even want to play in Fenway during the mid fall and have the crowd in hoodies and hats with breath showing, then I can. The default play now weather where it's around the usual average Summer weather is nice, but needs a "change-up". HAHA o.0

While they're at it give us different starting time options. Or let us just spin the clock to our liking

I'd also like the hitting in games in Minnesota, Milwaukee, New York and the ilk be affected by cold temps. (Think April)

Yeah, that'd be cool. Also humidity plays a big part. If we get a really humid day where the air is very wet, the ball doesn't travel far there either. The air slows it down.

Re: Weather in the Show

Franchise mode needs a dynamic weather system for summertime in the US. I believe that's the only option MLB the Show really has, baseball is the only sport thats played every day and out in the elements. A weather pattern would have to be modeled to achieve the full type of weather we expect in the game.

My wish has more to do with MLB than the game, but they could still make this come true. Baseball is a game originally designed to be played in the day time so I wish the majority of games were scheduled for the day with the night game being the novelty. Maybe we can customize the structure of season mode for this purpose.

There is also a major need for field deg. during weather affected games. The field should wear easier, wet spots, puddles, mud, etc. not existent in rain weather currently.

This! I've been wondering/asking about this for a number of years now.

Re: Weather in the Show

SCEA should team up with the weather/sky guys from Driveclub. One of the best skyboxes and weather systems I've seen in a game. Plus they're owned by Sony.

Re: Weather in the Show

Been asked for years...Rain delays/outs, doubleheaders.

Maybe this year we will get these new "sweat" jerseys and dynamic weather like this during games.....

Re: Weather in the Show

While I agree with all of you I wouldnt really expect to much with what we already have other then refinements .
As I recall SCEA went dragging and kicking just to add rain and only because so many requested it .

Re: Weather in the Show

The only thing I ask for is the climate to be fixed for Target Field. Year round the temperatures stay around 75-80 degrees and I rarely see any overcast/rainy conditions. I honestly feel like the Metrodome played a large part in that since it was always 72 degrees in there, and maybe the Target Field climate was programmed almost like the dome's.

I'd love to have rainouts and delays to make you play with your pitching staff.

Re: Weather in the Show

I've pleaded each year to finally build in variable weather that impacts the game just like it does in real life.

I honestly think it will take another game developer who is willing to implement these features as it requires a ton of work to make it realistic.

Open and closed domes.

Weather that changes during the game.

Rainouts, double-headers, games getting called early or late into the game.

Wind changing direction in real-time that actually does something.

Water on the turf that really slows the ball down.

Slippery conditions creating players falling, colliding, sliding and increased errors.

Might want to save this thread so that we can ask again next year and the year after until someone is willing to make it happen. Give me an arcade game at this point with working weather and I will be first in line!

I agree with everything you said. Even MLB 2K7 had rain outs and doubleheaders if I remember correctly. We need this to add more strategy (and stress) to the game!

Yeah you would think SCEA would have easily done this by now especially how the game is programmed for sim ?

Then add some different ball physics and increase errors for a start and I would kill for a more realistic skylines as everything is so blah vanilla and muted with no pop or depth just washed out .

I wanna see some cloudy depth , purple and orange evening skylines and I think the closest we get it a kinda a muted dull yellow mid afternoon shade .
