Maybe be able to have batting practice underneath the stadium, or some pitching mini-game.

Or what about the opportunity to view another game that's in progress during your delay? But honestly, just the import of rain into the Show is amazing. I love how this game gets even more amazing after I thought they could do nothing else.

Yes but capa, I would be pretty disappointed if each game with rain was going to be delayed. I don't want to see that every time. In fact, the problem with "rare things" or just unique things in general is there always seems to be just one type of cut scene for it. Just like replaying home runs or kicking a beach ball off the field, there will only be one kind of way to see that animation unless they switch it up a lot.

But my main point was going to be that I always disliked weather effects in baseball video games because they weren't dynamic. In The Show, they will be. That would be nice for a game to start off with sun and a patch of heavy clouds where eventually you start to get a drizzle and maybe even heavy enough rain to delay the game, but see now this is more difficult to program in. Plus, I'd rather go with postponements included, not just delays. Either go all out with it or leave it out IMO.

Sweet! Didn't know the rain would be dynamic, very awesome news.

I loved MVP's mini games, would certainly be a cool addition if added in The Show.

2. You might not have time to que up another throw.

3. If the fielder you are using has high enough fielding ratings he might be good enough to pull your red throw back into the yellow area.

4. If the ball is hit in the outfield and you re-preload depending upon your timing you will miss your branch point. Which causes him to trigger a throw ready animation. When this happens you loose all spectacular animations and smooth transitions.
It was said in the past that when you go into the red zone it will automatically be an error, is that true? Or, is it possible the throw will simply be in the dirt but a good first basemen will be able to pick it up? Hopefully it's not automatically an error, as I'm sure everyone would just eat the throw in that case as soon as they see they've gone into the red (or try to throw again as you've just said). To my mind that's not entirely realistic, as in real baseball an infielder doesn't start to throw a ball, realize as they are about to release it's going to be an error and then stop throwing. You only realize it's going to be an error after the ball has left your hand...

Also, are you able to elaborate on what a good rated fielder bringing a red throw back into the yellow zone means exactly, or how that mechanic will work?

I agree Blzer.. I say just go with postponements but Capa had a good idea on how to implement a "rain delay". I also agree with every game with inclement weather should not be delayed. I mean we see games every year played in light rain even drizzle especially games that are in the late innings are allowed to play through.

Dont forget cities like Kansas City, Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, Phillly, New York and D.C, have occasional SNOWOUTS as well... maybe next year..
