Weather Historical Data

Re: Weather Historical Data

So don't we or SCEA need to come to a consensus as to what sleeve/jacket weather is?

I say 60 and below is a nice round number.

I say no to that because if you have 60 degree weather in April in the Northeast you starting breaking out the shorts and t shirt combo. I think it should 40.

I agree with 40. Looking back at a few royals games there were quite a few players wearing cold weather gear when the high for the day was around 40 and a few that didnt seem to care at all and dressed normal.

Sorry, LA bias. How about we split the difference and say around 47? That's when you start to see your breath in the air.

Sorry Boston Bias, 40. And you don't see your breath then depending on the month.

Weather Historical Data

If you're talking about players wearing winter coats at 40 then I'm all for it.

At 40 degrees you mine as well not have sleeves at all because you will almost never see them. Avg low (which would be at about dawn) in Boston for April is about 42 degrees. Avg low in October is 47.

That's why there needs to be an option in the editor.

It's not all or nothing, it's not like before a game, the whole teams decides to wear long sleeves or not, as the Show would have you believe.

Some players never wear long sleeves regardless of how cold it is, which is why there needs to be an option in the editor for long sleeves in the cold (whatever the game deems cold).

Re: Weather Historical Data

Im fine with anything between 40-50. Last April there were 6 days that would have been about 40 during a game in KC. Including the home opener which was 43 and players were wearing cold weather gear. Alex Gordon wasnt but he is a real man.

Yeah i agree. When i said no to an on off option earlier i was thinking more along the lines of it being an option for all players. Not an individual option for each one. Meant to edit it in to my original post.

Here are all the cities temperatures over the last 5 years.

Based on this, the cutoff should probably be around 50 for what should be considered "cold"

Re: Weather Historical Data

I went through the data from bp4baseball...and while there are differences with the SCEA data used......it wasn't that far off for most cities. In some cases the SCEA temps were even higher.
Also....without being at the event and getting to talk to whoever is in charge of temps.....and they use the chart they have....I don't feel confident enough to give them the info provided to make changes.
I don't think changing the temp ranges is going to change how the teams wear sleeves anyway...they are too close.
They are either going to have to lower the threshold or give you the option I'm afraid.

I think a lower threshold is probably the simplest and best solution but, as we've proven here, it's not so simple coming to a consensus of what that threshold should be.

Re: Weather Historical Data

The temp should be 45 degrees anything above I think is where some players wear sleeves and some don't so that would be the easiest way to help with the issue. It was just in the 40's here in NJ a few days ago and it felt like spring.

The problem with temperature is its relative. If you've been in 20 degree weather for a week and then there's a day that is 45, you'll feel very comfortable. But if you've been in the 70's and the temperature drops to 45 you'll be all bundled up.

Re: Weather Historical Data

Maybe it would be good to have the option to wear longsleeves pregame, after you see the temp.
