Weather in the Show

Although Baseball isn't played in inclement weather like football or soccer is (so the devs dont have to focus on it too much)... it would be nice to get more weather options for The Show 15. Rain is nice since baseball IS played in a little rain. BUT The Show needs season based weather. Meaning, it'd be nice to have the option to play a play now game using weather from any time of the year (that baseballs played.) Like, if I want to play a play now game and have it be late Spring (where the weather's around 60-65 but a warm 60-65, then I can). Or early fall where the weathers around a cool 60-65, then I can there too). Or even want to play in Fenway during the mid fall and have the crowd in hoodies and hats with breath showing, then I can. The default play now weather where it's around the usual average Summer weather is nice, but needs a "change-up". HAHA o.0

Re: Weather in the Show

While they're at it give us different starting time options. Or let us just spin the clock to our liking

Re: Weather in the Show

I'd also like the hitting in games in Minnesota, Milwaukee, New York and the ilk be affected by cold temps. (Think April)

Yeah, that'd be cool. Also humidity plays a big part. If we get a really humid day where the air is very wet, the ball doesn't travel far there either. The air slows it down.

Re: Weather in the Show

Franchise mode needs a dynamic weather system for summertime in the US. I believe that's the only option MLB the Show really has, baseball is the only sport thats played every day and out in the elements. A weather pattern would have to be modeled to achieve the full type of weather we expect in the game.

My wish has more to do with MLB than the game, but they could still make this come true. Baseball is a game originally designed to be played in the day time so I wish the majority of games were scheduled for the day with the night game being the novelty. Maybe we can customize the structure of season mode for this purpose.

There is also a major need for field deg. during weather affected games. The field should wear easier, wet spots, puddles, mud, etc. not existent in rain weather currently.

This! I've been wondering/asking about this for a number of years now.

SCEA should team up with the weather/sky guys from Driveclub. One of the best skyboxes and weather systems I've seen in a game. Plus they're owned by Sony.
