Re: Season Ticket - Every Game Raining?

Some good news: I checked the weather in my Browns franchise, and it seems that starting sometime in November, it stops raining. Whether I was playing in Cleveland or elsewhere, the sun was shining bright (except for 1 rain game at night).

So this could be a bug that just affects the first half of games played in franchise.

Jillian Barbarie with the Weather...

Last night, I simmed thru three seasons, using the Raiders, Browns, and Redskins. And Checked the weather for each home game. Here's what I found.
There is a definite pattern.
All of your preseason home games will have rain.
Your first two regular season games will have rain.
Then two consecutive home games will be sunny.
Then alternating each remaining home game; Rain, Sun, Rain Sun.
Now, this means HOME GAMES, not whole weeks. If the browns play at home in week one, it will be raining. The Redskins open on the road, but come home in week two, THEY will have their first rain. So you get a bit of a staggered pattern depending on their schedules. BTW, I didnt see any snow.
What I find so odd, is why would the weather be worse in August than December?

To me, they should divide teams into weather zones;\ I.E.
Seattle should get rain 20% until Halloween, then maybe 50% thru Thanksgiving. And a 30% Chance of snow in december.
Oakland and SF should get rain and clouds 30% thru Sept. Then sunny with a 20% of rain throughout rest of season.
San Diego and Arizona get sun 90% of the time all season, with clouds or rain the remaining ten per cent.
Miami, Jacksonville , Tampa Bay, and Carolina get sun 80%, clouds and heavy rain the rest of the season.Aug and Sept is hurricane season BTW.
Denver should be sunny, but quickly getting a 30% of snow around Halloween and after.
Cleveland, Chicago, Green Bay, Buffalo, Should be sunny until Halloween, then cold with more snow (Lake effect) thru rest of season. Cloudy or snowy. 30% chance of sun.
Cincy, Pittsburgh, and Washington... Mild thru Halloween. Cloudy and Cold thru Thanksgiving, then snow clouds and sun equally thru december and January.
New England, New York, Philadelphia... Suns with clouds thru Halloween, 50% of rain in November; Then clouds, snnow, and Sun equally after Thanksgiving.

Re: Jillian Barbarie with the Weather...

I simmed a season with Seattle last night checking every game. There was one rainy game in the preseason and 4 during the regular season (3 of which were at home, including 2 in December). That's 4/13 games in the rain (3 games played in a dome: Dallas, Arizona and STL). A little much but not too bad.

I haven't chosen a team yet but I am considering going with one of the 8 teams that are garanteed 9 dome games per season (ATL, NO, HOU, IND, MIN, DET, ARI and STL).

That pattern doesn't hold for all teams though. See my Seattle test in my previous post.

Re: Season Ticket - Every Game Raining?

I've played eleven games now into a franchise with the Chiefs and every game that hasn't been indoors has been raining with the exception of one game in San Diego. This is beyond frustrating.

Re: Season Ticket - Every Game Raining?

Does your 11 games includes all 4 pre-season games, or 11 regular season games? Because for me, towards late October/early November in Cleveland (and my away games too), I only had one rain game when I tested out how the season progressed re: weather. The rest were either sunny and clear or slightly overcast but no rain.

One thing I'm wondering about is if you relocate a team to a different city, does the rain bug still follow you around? Not sure...

Either way, this sucks and is completely ridiculous. Sunny days looks infinitely better than this consistent rain garbage.
I think this is right, but it's still hilariously broken. As you mentioned, and I experience, San Francisco has no issue.... but Oakland does.

They are right across the Bay from each other.

*sigh.

Re: Season Ticket - Every Game Raining?

Can we maybe get a list going of which teams are affected by this "issue."

And man.. does this stink for Cleveland Browns Fans. (as if real life wasnt bad enough, lol... j/k)

Regardless though, why not patch in the option to set weather pre-game in Franchise mode? Just like in Exhibition mode? At least it would make this a non-issue for M12...
