Would You Want The Optiont to Edit Weather in Franchise?

Personally, I'd like to be able to dicate the weather in some of my franchise games. Especially after this year where every game in every franchise had predetermined weather, I'd like the ability to change it.

In Madden 11, the Jaguars' first 10 or so games were all in the rain, there was rain in Dallas even though they have a dome, and just the fact that the weather never changes in franchise bothers me and I know a lot of people complained about it.

Also, last year the Pats had a random snow storm in October for their game with the Titans, and I think it'd be cool if we had the ability to create those types of situations if we want.

More options are always better.

Re: Would You Want The Optiont to Edit Weather in Franchise?

I do not like pre-determined weather like it is in Madden franchises.

But I think user controlled weather is going a little far....

So Im voting no.

But I sure wish weather wasnt pre-determined... I think its lame.

I voted yes. I hate seeing ZERO snow games until the divisional round of the playoffs.

Re: Would You Want The Optiont to Edit Weather in Franchise?

I think the poll should be for random weather. I don't want to change the weather every game. I also hate that the live weather only works online. Why in the blazing heck do I have to see the weather channel icon if it's not even an offline option (with the exception of play now). The predetermined weather in franchise really sucks... if you play through one season, then get the roster updates and start your chise over, it's the same weather every game.

I feel like the weather should be randomized, with the weather being based on the likliehood for snow in each month based on each location. So Greenbay has a higher chance for snow then the chargers, but that doesn't mean it'll happen every game.

I've wondered that too. Presumably it's an ad/plug for the Weather Channel, in exchange for which EA receives payment from the Weather Channel's owners (NBC Universal, Blackstone Group, etc.).

This worked correctly in previous versions of Madden

Yup. In Madden '09 and earlier it was random.

Last year and this year its pre-determined. Which is lame IMO.



I think weather should be randomized, and obviously geographic location should determine what outcomes might occur. Then if you really wanted to, you could re-sim the game a couple of times to get the weather you desire, which is basically the same as what OP is talking about.

But pre-determined weather is horribly annoying if you start a franchise anew with the same team.

Im guessing this was done to save memory, Im guessing a text file with a weather table for each team uses less memory on the disc than algorithms to generate random weather.
