Weather Reports

Temperature does have an affect on gameplay, not a huge one, but I believe anything over 85 or below 32 changes the rate of fatigue drain/regen. I don't remember the specifics, but it was something I messed with when modding the game last year.

I remember a lengthy thread on a different site devoted to Madden 2008 PC modding that was looking into a "homefield advantage" effect that might've been built into places like Miami. Don't remember the conclusion of it, been a few years.

If they don't fix the wind effect on the kicking game a weather report would be perfect to cancel out of the game and retry until you get calm winds. I thought a while ago too like underdog mentioned that temperature played a role in fatigue but wasn't sure if they carried into the recent games. At this point I'd be more concerned they'd break something if they made it have an effect, but getting a weather report or weather bug report would be nice.

Weird. On all pro sim, default sliders, 10 min quarters with no runoff, I held the Patriots to only 3 points in the 2nd half of the game I played last night. User D could be tightened up a little on default, yes, but nearly shutting out the Patriots for 2 quarters tells me that D is not broken at all.

As for the OP, a weather report would be cool. It's not worth banging the drum for me personally, but I can see why some would put it high on a list for sure.

It's the AI's defense that is broken. I can easily shut teams down. But I'm putting up 24+ points and over 250 yards in 24 minute games regularly. Now imagine what those numbers would be in a full 60 minute game.

That means you're not playing with the right difficulty is all that means. Or you're using exploits. Or both.

All-Pro, with sliders adjusted to greatly aid the CPU. Tried All-Madden, and in some ways it's more difficult, but I can still destroy the CPU's defense with slants whenever I need.

Plenty of videos out there of the broken defense. It's a widespread issue.
