Weather in the Show

Maybe this year we will get these new "sweat" jerseys and dynamic weather like this during games.....

While I agree with all of you I wouldnt really expect to much with what we already have other then refinements .
As I recall SCEA went dragging and kicking just to add rain and only because so many requested it .

The only thing I ask for is the climate to be fixed for Target Field. Year round the temperatures stay around 75-80 degrees and I rarely see any overcast/rainy conditions. I honestly feel like the Metrodome played a large part in that since it was always 72 degrees in there, and maybe the Target Field climate was programmed almost like the dome's.

I'd love to have rainouts and delays to make you play with your pitching staff.

I've pleaded each year to finally build in variable weather that impacts the game just like it does in real life.

I honestly think it will take another game developer who is willing to implement these features as it requires a ton of work to make it realistic.

Open and closed domes.

Weather that changes during the game.

Rainouts, double-headers, games getting called early or late into the game.

Wind changing direction in real-time that actually does something.

Water on the turf that really slows the ball down.

Slippery conditions creating players falling, colliding, sliding and increased errors.

Might want to save this thread so that we can ask again next year and the year after until someone is willing to make it happen. Give me an arcade game at this point with working weather and I will be first in line!

I agree with everything you said. Even MLB 2K7 had rain outs and doubleheaders if I remember correctly. We need this to add more strategy (and stress) to the game!

Yeah you would think SCEA would have easily done this by now especially how the game is programmed for sim ?

Then add some different ball physics and increase errors for a start and I would kill for a more realistic skylines as everything is so blah vanilla and muted with no pop or depth just washed out .

I wanna see some cloudy depth , purple and orange evening skylines and I think the closest we get it a kinda a muted dull yellow mid afternoon shade .

F1 2014 has amazing weather! Strategy becomes key to how you drive and when to take rain tyres.

Does anyone remember Joe Montana Sports Talk football for the Sega Genesis?

The weather changed DURING THE GAME! It affected the gameplay!!! Even the announcer would say "It's beginning to rain." The rain would come down light, heavy, stop, stay raining or snowing. You never knew what was going to happen. This was in 1994..........yes 20 years ago!

World Series Baseball for the Sega Saturn had rain delays!

World Series Baseball 2k1 for the Sega Dreamcast had rain delays!
