Weather in Franchise Mode

[MelR2000]

I could only play one game of exhibition before I had to turn this game off. (waiting for a patch for the "no show" defense). At one point I had two wideouts running streaks and could pick which one to throw the TD too. Now you guys are saying weather is preset. Man Madden is really becoming a bad joke. Thanks EA for NCAA 11 it is alot of fun, well done. BTW, EA if you read this...please for the love of all that is holy FIRE Tiburon!!

What'd they use, the Farmer's Almanac?

Anyway, I'd rather just have to option to pick my own weather for franchise games. It's my game, I like options.

Since I knew Franchise mode hadn't been touched this year, I figured it would be the same and it is.

They should have at least 3 weather scripts (not that hard) so it is more random per game.

I also like how all 1:00 games at Lambeau in Franchise mode looks like a 6:00 pm kickoff. Thanks EA not only did you completely screw up Franchise weather again but the shadow at Lambeau is 100% wrong at all times. Its nice to know they listened to our threads last year.

This is more of a basic bug than a "franchise mode" issue. Have you actually seen the problem in 11 yet?

Yeah - 49ers' games are always lighted at the "4:00 pm" time... um, hello, that's East Coast. All day games should have the same 1pm lighting except for 4pm games hosted on the East Coast.

Disappointing about the weather. Never noticed it was scripted, but did not like you can't quit out of a game when you hate the weather (who likes rain?!) and re-start it for a chance at better weather.

I've played in 3 online franchise with the Pats and all 3 had it raining heavily at home vs the Bengals.

I notice this in NCAA too for South Carolina Dynasty, the first game vs Southern Miss, it is always raining too.

**** fail EA
