Rain Delays

[PhlliesPhan6]

I've been playing this game for I don't know how many years and I still don't understand what to do when the game resumes from a rain delay. My only options are to keep my starter in (which most of the time they are tired) or Warm up a reliever. But once you hit warm up a reliever you're stuck in the bullpen screen and can't go back. The only option is to put in a cold reliever. There's no good options. I had a great competitive game going yesterday that blew up in my face because I had to put in a cold LR.

When you bring in a reliever after a rain delay, you don’t have to warm them up, just put them in the game. The game simulates that he is warm

I didn’t know that. That’s good information

So my reliever just sucked or other reasons?

Yeah they must have just sucked



I usually put in a reliever if the rain delay is more than 30 minutes. SDS half assed this feature though. There should be a chance at a rainout and a shortened game or a rescheduled doubleheader. MVP 05 and MLB 2K7 has this feature long ago.

I remember when they announced the rain delays, Ramone did not sound too excited about it. He even mentioned at the time he didn't know why people would want this.

Well, i agree with Ramone if they knew they were doing it half *** like mentioned above. Had they done it correctly it would be a cool feature.

Which probably explains why they're so poorly implemented. But this all comes down to getting dynamic weather in the game. Since the only way to get rain is to specifically set the weather to "Rain", you're stuck in a downpour for 5 innings before the game says "Hey, wait a minute, it's raining!" and triggers the cutscene. This is just dumb, and the main reason I never put rain on. If it defaults to rain, I just change it to overcast. There's no strategy involved with it or anything, it's basically just an excuse to get your starter out of the game
