    Wind

    Does anyone know for certain that wind has an impact on the trajectory of the flight of the ball? As we're all aware, in real life the wind can alter the direction dramatically depending on wind speed. It doesn't seem that noticeable to me, and how do I check the wind speed in a game? Thanks

    I seem to remember them saying in a stream that wind and rain is a factor.

      I feel like I've seen it be more of a factor this year than before. Their has been times I thought a fly ball was dying out but then it kept going and ending up being a HR. I looked at the flags after and they were definitely blowing that way.

        Wind defenitely plays a factor this year. I hit a moon shot with Braun that I thought had no chance, but I hit the ball in the same direction as an 8mph wind and it just kept on carrying and eventually scraped over the wall. If wind truly didnt play a factor it wouldve been a can of corn shy of the warning track.

          Yeah wind is a factor this year. I hit a walkoff homerun with Matt Carpenter mainly because I got it up in 14mph wind blowing out to right field. At best this ball should've been caught at the warning track but it carried over the fence for a walkoff homerun!

            I always up my WIND slider to 7. Personally I have not seen any big difference but it's early.
