Anyone encountered a rain delay or rainout yet?

Re: Anyone encountered a rain delay or rainout yet?

Have had several rain delays, it seems to rain an awful lot. Had my first cancellation today. Was botten of the first, had thrown a few pitches to the leadoff man, the umpires called a rain delay, after Joe/Jon talk for a few they say the umpires have cancelled the game. A double header was scheduled for the following day.

Sweet, thanks for the info. That sounds really cool. Cant wait to see the realtime day and weather cycles in the 360 version.

Me too. I know it isn't gameplay related, but it just adds to the realism. Can't wait to see shadows cover the mound during day games as it progresses to the end.

This is the great kind of little detail 2K always throws into their games. I love this stuff.

About it raining in Minute Maid, etc.--it would be a pain to animate the closing roof, probably.

They could always do a cutscene showing the roof closing.

I had a rain out with the Phillies.

They rescheduled the game as a double-header the next day.

It didn't seem to affect the players fatigue at all. Seemed to just waste the time of playing the 1st inning.


Still a cool aspect to the game though.

that cool that they cancel the games and do a double header do you know how often this happens?

Why would they be fatigued after playing one inning? Check after the 1st game of the doubleheader and see if they are more fatigued in the second game.

Had a rain delay last night in a day game as the Tigers @ Kansas City. It was raining as the game started, then in the bottom of the 2nd the umpires conferred and put us on a delay. I didnt know what was happening at first, and I accidently hit "A" and skipped past the delay. When the game resumed it was bright and sunny! It could have been my imagination, but I am almost positive my pitchers stamina went from 88 up to 94.
