Weather in Franchise Mode

[Kudzilla]

I noticed that weather in franchise mode is not randomised. I started multiple franchises with the redskins just to test it out and the weather is just the same, the first game of the regular season is always 79F then the next game is always 83F. Franchise mode was always my faviorate mode but now it just sucks, anyone else noticed this?

Yes ive noticed....SD 2nd game (home opener) is always in a downpour....will try the live weather feed feature to see if that helps..but i heard its never accurate but maybe it will allow for randomization

Live weather doesnt work in franchise mode though

Hopefully they fixed the closed stadium bug from Madden 10. It would rain in the Cowboy's stadium while the roof was closed and there was no way to avoid it as the weather is pre-set. Is random weather really that difficult for EA to put in the game (it used to be in the PC version years and years ago)

If the weather cycle is the same from the first season then im not playing franchise mode, im sure madden 10 had random weather in franchise mode and they also decided to remove the drills in this years madden too. sucks.

Scripting the weather is the same as scripted draft classes, etc... it all becomes very samey, very predictable imo.

Nope they didn't.

They did not touch franchise mode this year as far as upgrades go.

Bad news guys, it's the same as least year. It KILLED me last year that the Franchise mode weather was not random PER GAME. It's scripted, so if it's raining in week 3, then it will always rain in week 3, no matter how often you restart. Since I knew Franchise mode hadn't been touched this year, I figured it would be the same and it is.
