Wind never blows in in franchise

Re: Wind never blows in in franchise

Oddly...most of my games the wind has been either in or across. I have played about 30 games too.



Playing with Yanks..but still seeing mostly in and across. Maybe handful of games with wind blowing out.




Definitely a bug.




The wind direction usually is wrong at the begin of the game until you hit the pause. And it is usually blowing out. This is why I think some are thinking they are seeing too many wind blowing out games, as that was my initial impression.

I agree. I also trust the flags.

That's an interesting take. I almost always pause the game by the second inning, so maybe that's why I see things different than some. I want to see the wind direction, and I want to check on the fatigue status of the CPU bullpen.

What's odd is regardless of which direction the wind is blowing balls down both foul lines always curve foul. In a realistic sim the wind would impact the direction of the ball. They apparently programmed the ball to always curve without regard to wind.

I agree. And its always been that way in the decade that I've played the game. I can't ever recall a time where I hit a deep fly ball towards the pole that was foul and then curved in to become a home run, no matter how strongly the wind was blowing. And given that I've played thousands of games at Wrigley, many with strong wind, you'd think that I would have.

Sounds like it wouldn’t be a factor but if it’s happening for some people and not others it could be a carry-over save issue. Are you playing with a franchise started in 20 or a carry-over from 19 or beyond?

Yeah..I always check the wind early in the game. The OSD of the wind that Matt V usually discusses is also accurate.

Carry over save in franchise manage mode. It shouldn't matter since you are importing the roster and standings while getting the new version's game play on the field. When you push the options button to pause the game what direction is the wind blowing?

I started a new franchise just to see what the "full minors" looked like but only played a few games. I'll begin a few games in that franchise just to see what it looks like.

I'm conducting a test of each game I play to track what the arrow indicates in the pause menu and what the game log says regarding wind direction.

Started 4 games in a new franchise. Pushed the options button at the beginning of each game. Arrow point straight to center field each time. One of the four times the game log showed wind blowing out to rf - other three times out to cf. I have yet to see the wind blowing in with around 40 games played.

I suspect the game log is correct but can't confirm it because it is difficult to determine what impact the wind has on the baseball if any. A ball down either foul line always curves foul regardless of what the wind is doing sometimes defying the laws of physics.

As was mentioned in this thread, if you pause the game again, a second time, you'll see the wind indicator pointing in the correct direction the wind is blowing as mentioned in the game log or when Matt V gives the weather report.

The wind does indeed have an impact on the ball while its in the air, as you'll see balls into the wind, especially if its blowing hard get held up and when hit with the wind the ball will carry a bit more. Also you'll see the ball get blown by cross winds.

The only issue with the wind is the indicator always points straight up when you first pause the game, but it corrects itself to indicate the correct direction of the wind.

I'm aware of that. I'm still not seeing the wind blowing in. I'll take your word for it that you see it blowing in but I haven't seen it.

Not a major problem but another thing in the game that used to work fine and somehow got changed.
