Rain in every game? (Only certain teams)

[TheBadazz]

They could have got a intern to get a Almanac and look up the weather for all the dates a game (each city) was played from the last decade, use that data in a random fashion. Bam you got the weather for the next 10 franchise years. After that, wash and repeated. Not scientific, but effective.

I guess you're playing with the NYG. If I recall correctly there's a nasty front coming from the south. You will be getting rain the next 4 weeks or so.

You should definitely keep it. The game is extremely fun. Once they iron out this bug franchise mode will be great.

If you read my post I directly quoted his post. And like I said before, yeah the issue has been acknowledged but to a point where we really know nothing.

Will I have to start my original franchise over?
How long does it take to rewrite an entire system that determines weather?
What if other issues do pop up? Am I stuck playing the preseason and first five weeks of every season in the rain until Madden 13?

Basically, all we know is that this probably wasn't tested at all during development and that there is no timetable on when it will be fixed.

The weather system as a whole is broken. My December/January games in Foxboro have had temps in the 60s.

Potential work around: start you games from the team schedule page. I can't be sure I'm not imagining the difference though. Anyone else tried this?

Can't argue with that I guess, maybe I mis-interpreted your definition of acknowledged.

Hey man, I have a three year old and 9 month old. It will get fun soon. As for the female, no guarantees.
