Too many rain games...

[bryan_05]

In at least 8 of my 15 games there has been rain at some point. It's quite irritating.

Just stop and keep reloading the save file until the weather clears up.

Re: Too many rain games...

where in the country are you playing and what month are you in? I'm wondering if that plays any role...

I play with the Dodgers and I haven't had any rain outs - although I did get some rain in SF while playing.

Re: Too many rain games...

It's April and May I have seen rain in Chicago, St. Louis, and Colorado.

These haven't been rainouts, just rain during the game. 2 middle of the game rain delays though.

Re: Too many rain games...

that doesn't seem too out of hand - although I'm a west coaster, so I don't know what the weather is like in the mid-west.

Re: Too many rain games...

It rains quite a bit in the midwest, but not every night. Maybe 2-3x a week. Hopefully the law of averages plays out and it's a dry summer

Re: Too many rain games...

I actually think there are too many rain games also. I've had quite a few rain outs and I get a game delayed by the rain like once every 3-5 games.

Re: Too many rain games...

I have had a few after 30 games but it is april/may like someone else said. I like it! I have yet to get a delay or rainout though? I would like to see one soon. Are you guys just seeing drops or are you getting rainouts and delays etc....?

That seems about right though man... around here in the spring, it's nothing but showers all the freaking time. Not enough to do anything, but it still sprinkles etc quite frequently.

It's annoying though, I know... I've seen it quite often in my 40 games with the Reds.

Re: Too many rain games...

I haven't seen all that many rain days. I've also not seen enough overcast days.

Slightly off-topic, I suppose, but this brings to mind a couple pet peeves of mine.

1. Why does the rain look so stupid? I mean, rain drops six inches long, falling at about four miles per hour? There was better rain on Joe Montana Sports Talk Football.
2. The lighting during overcast games is off. The field looks great, but the players just look the same as if there was sunshine. Annoying.

Re: Too many rain games...

Actually mine has been pretty realistic. I'm about 120 games in and I've had 2 rainout games and 2 that were delayed and then resumed.

I've seen rain in about 15 other games.

This could have something to do with me playing in Arlington though.

Re: Too many rain games...

I live in Ohio and we are forcasted with rain all week.

I think one of the best rain graphics for a sports game was programmed into NFL2K3. They used the "GTA3" technique of adding another rain pattern in the back ground of the first rain pattern. It looked pretty good overall.

I live in Pittsburgh.

It has rained here for the past four days. There is rain in the forecast every day for the next 10 days (and probably beyond).

It rains a lot here in March and April, and even into May.

I think what you are seeing in your game is pretty accurate.
