Has anyone experienced a rainy game?

[bonannogiovanni]

is rain even in the game? Delays or postponements are part of franchise mode?

Thanks

No, as far as I know, rain is not present in the game, however for exhibition (i.e. Play Now mode) you can select overcast weather without rain.

I thought rain delays and stuff were supposed to be in this year but it doesn't appear they are. Maybe they can add some rain with the patch, along with some sunshine...

sidenote: I still like the fact they included "Steal my sunshine" as part of the soundtrack for this game.

No rain yet for me. I'm playing in NY, so you would think it will rain.

No rain, some overcast and mention of moisture, but no rain on screen.

Rain delays or ran period are not in the 360 version.
What about wind?? Is there anywhere to tell how hard the wind is blowing??

I did like the rain delay it just made it more realistic. I remember winning by 1 run in the 6th and the Orioles were coming back and rain out victory. I also want to know about wind where is it.

It was out of control last year.
I can remember in my Reds season I had 9 rain outs in April.
I had to play like 7 double headers and it killed my pitching staff.

Yeah, I don;t think there is rain in this years game. They left it out, because I still have yet to see a game delay or rain.

There is no debating it as 2K has said rain did not make it into the 360 or PS3 versions of the game.

I think that was 2k7. 2k8 had rainouts but no rescheduling of games as doubleheaders. That resulted in having to play the same game on the same day again.

Re: Has anyone experienced a rainy game?

This doesn't bother me at all, it was poorly implemented in 2K8 and was nothing more than a MAJOR annoyance IMO.

I mean you'd start a game, and sometimes by the 6th or 7th innings it would rain rather than early on in the game.

At which point the game would sometimes get called, and instead of it being rescheduled or picking it up in a double-header. In 2K8 you'd just start the same game all over again, on the same day nonetheless.

It made the 2,3,4,5, or 6 innings you JUST PLAYED, a complete WASTE of time.

If they get it right, then it is welcomed, but if this is all they can do to SIM a rain delay/game then keep it out...for good.

When did they say that? In the 2k forums, Ron said he was told "rainouts/raindelays are in - just handled differently than last year"
