I'm pretty sure they used weather data in the past, maybe a few years ago?

Seemed to work pretty well from what I remember.

So in the IGN stream, Ramone confirmed that the roof closed/open would be decided for you based on the weather. He made this comment right after he said he wished the roof was closed as they were playing in Chase Field....

They really should have given us the option to choose or this is going to kill the realism. Also worth mentiong, they were playing in Arizona with the roof open and the managers and umpires were wearing jackets. So much for realistic weather.....

They came so close with the open/closed roofs but if its not realistic it's going to kill the realism ugh

One thing that annoys me is how the players and fans all dress correctly for 40 degrees weather but the umpires are dressed like its 80. It's so stupid and I've never understood why it's not been fixed.

Yes, that used to drive me crazy. I am so glad they included umpire jackets now.

I didn't know they finally fixed it but that's good to know.

I just have a bad feeling that unless it is raining. We aren't going to see closed roofs.

I have a bad feeling about it too.

I'm kinda ticked that they include it based on users requesting it, but then they don't give us the option to use it.

Logically speaking, that doesn't make sense though?

They spent a lot of manpower, hours and utlimately a chunk of $$ to create these new builds. They wouldn't have built it into the game unless they wanted it to be used.

I would prefer the option to play with it open/closed but either way...I'd bet it would be over 25% that you play in a closed stadium where these things exist.
