Just A Random Thought (Rain Related)

[dj will]

I love the rain feature in this years game, but I was wondering, shouldn't the stadiums be more empty during the rain? Every time I play a game and its raining the stadium is always packed. For some reason it doesn't look realistic to me like that.

I don't know but it would be cool if in the game it looked like this when it rained



(I mean the fans, not the actual stadium)

It certainly would be more realistic.
Perhaps have the "blowout" crowd(the fans leaving) trigger during a full on rain?

There's a slight glitch where if it rains in Seattle the roof isn't closed and it rains on the field. I'm not sure about other stadiums, but this happened in an RttS game for me. They need to double check on that detail.

It'd be more detail to add to an already great game.

I would love to see more dynamic fans in all situations. Like having less fans when the home team is losing by 5 runs late in the game, or more noticeable road team cheers in the same scenario.

thats not a glitch, there are no closed roofs on any stadium. they say it cant be dont without making a 2nd model of the stadium with the roof closed. though someone did point out that mvp 05 (if I recall right) had real moving roofs that opened and closed so it looks like it can be done. for me it doesnt matter, I dont see a point to having rainouts and delays in a video game unless its for scheduling double headers. if that was the case we should just have the option to rainout the game and schedule the double header. there wouldnt be any need for time to be spent on rain animations and closing roofs.

You know I play on MOM and 1 actually manage 1 out of every 4 games while doing Sportscast Manager the other 3. I am in year 3 and still have not seen 1 game in the rain. Maybe it is just luck of the draw.

Neither one of those pictures show how many fans there are when it's raining lightly enough to keep playing the game.

Your pictures show "the harder it rains during rain delays, the fewr fans there are in their seats".

It doesn't really have anything to do with the game.

Fan attendance based on score, opponent, inning, etc would be pretty cool.
