Weather in 2015

Re: Weather in 2015

I want to be able to choose as well. I'm afraid the roof will only be closed in the case of rain, and hot based on temperature. Most teams with retractable roofs play with them closes the majority of the time.

I don't know about other stadiums but the is definitely not true in Toronto. The Dome usually opens/closes at around 16 or 17C (60F), and again at around 36C (97F). Barring rain, it's open the vast majority of the summer.

The problem with random is it doesn't match the weather IRL. I'm sure it would be a mess to accurately replicate weather patterns in 30 cities but it isn't random.

I'm pretty sure they used weather data in the past, maybe a few years ago?

Seemed to work pretty well from what I remember.

Re: Weather in 2015

So in the IGN stream, Ramone confirmed that the roof closed/open would be decided for you based on the weather. He made this comment right after he said he wished the roof was closed as they were playing in Chase Field....

They really should have given us the option to choose or this is going to kill the realism. Also worth mentiong, they were playing in Arizona with the roof open and the managers and umpires were wearing jackets. So much for realistic weather.....

They came so close with the open/closed roofs but if its not realistic it's going to kill the realism ugh

One thing that annoys me is how the players and fans all dress correctly for 40 degrees weather but the umpires are dressed like its 80. It's so stupid and I've never understood why it's not been fixed.

Yes, that used to drive me crazy. I am so glad they included umpire jackets now.

I didn't know they finally fixed it but that's good to know.

I just have a bad feeling that unless it is raining. We aren't going to see closed roofs.

I have a bad feeling about it too.

I'm kinda ticked that they include it based on users requesting it, but then they don't give us the option to use it.

Logically speaking, that doesn't make sense though?

They spent a lot of manpower, hours and utlimately a chunk of $$ to create these new builds. They wouldn't have built it into the game unless they wanted it to be used.

I would prefer the option to play with it open/closed but either way...I'd bet it would be over 25% that you play in a closed stadium where these things exist.

You can choose rain.....wouldn't that be your option to close it?

Re: Weather in 2015

I've found that the turning the head to the side and scrolling through the weather options has worked wonders for choosing weather.

It's going to be random weather. Plus that's not the only time that teams close the roof.

I think you can still choose weather....it may randomize to start each game...but I think you can change it.

Honestly, what does it matter what's going on outside the virtual stadium if the roof is closed?

Because the stadiums still have windows. Plus it's a work-a-round. It makes more sense to give us the same options as we get for exhibition.

I wonder if overcast can trigger it to be closed as well?

I do understand some people's fuss with not being able to select it manually. I know the Dbacks keep the roof closed about 90% of their home games especially during the summer months. If I play with a team like that and the temp is 107 outside and the roof is open I'd be a little disappointed, but it's not a game killer for me like it might be for others.
