    Has anyone............

    seen the rain ? I can hear the thunder and the commentary describes that the weather 'system' being right over the stadium, or whatever, mid game...........but no rain falls.
    And is there no longer a Contract Status page in the game.....as there was in '13 ?

    You must choose the weather now pre-game.
    It's no longer random(wish it was though)
    For contracts....I think you just have the manage roster screen ....contracts and sort them.

      Contract status can be found in the offseason. Go to schedule and press X on the current day and Contract status should be listed under manage contracts in the pop up.

      As for rain, you can't really see it while playing, except for when they pan the camera out and show a view of the whole stadium. Then you can slightly see it, but when you're on the field, it may as well not be raining.

      In short, the rain is there, but you just can't see it.

        Weather isn't random anymore. I may be anal but how I pick the weather is by using weather channel app and selecting the weather for the city I'm playing in that day. I get variation that way.

          I have visually seen the rain quite a bit.
          I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

          I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

            I've seen it in the one game I made it happen, I just love the presentation too much when it's clear out to play with it. I think you missed a huge opportunity with the thread title. You could have named it "I wanna know...."

              Thanks guys. Actually saw rain (at last) whilst playing a game in Cincinatti tonight whilst in the bullpen!! only had the game three days so that's cool to know its there and figured that's why the soil looks wet all game. Thanks for info on Contact status also.

                Does the weather have ANY impact on games (other than if you happen to get a windy day)?

                Heat wears guys down more and making the balls more "lively"? Rain impacting pitcher control and throwing accuracy (wet baseballs), etc? Maybe slowing down base runners some?

                Anything? Just cosmetic?

                  I'll never understand why people create threads with such ambiguous titles. It screws with search results and no one even knows what the thread is about until opening it. Seems odd.

                    You do know that if you put the mouse on the thread title for a few seconds, it will show part of the OP? For example it would show that this thread had to do about a rain.

                    As for your statement, it got people to view. So that is probably the point of such ambiguous titles.

                      Honestly, I wouldn't be able to say for sure, but if I were to guess based on my experience playing so far, I would say the weather has no impact.

                      I play either clear skies or overcast mostly, with some rainy games every once and a while, and I haven't seen much difference either/or.

                        The rain is there......and it comes and goes. I notice it pretty well. And weather is random. You scroll down to weather, hold down left/right directional button, close your eyes for about 5 seconds and press 'X'. Open your eyes back up, by this time your at the loading screen and then badda bing!!! your weather is random, you just never know what it's going to be
