Weather

I wish in Dynasty Mode they would let you pick the weather for your game. Tired of the game loading up with rain all the time.

I feel you on that. Last year I kept a log of rain games in my online dynasty. Each year I was around the 65% range of having rain games. I doubt a team plays in that much rain every year. Maybe except in the northwest. I wish it would at least tell you the temperature before kickoff like in the older versions. Not a big deal but just a small thing that makes the game more likable.

I agree, I would like the option to have a snow bowl, mud bowl or extremely windy conditions, etc .

id be nice if they would give the forecast of the game before we start like how it is in play now

I like random weather, but I agree the ability to decide would be a nice option. FIFA handles it perfectly. In manager mode the game will randomly select a weather appropriate to the time of year, but you also have the option to change it to whatever you want.

I've been saying this for years I wish EA would implement weather forecasts and a weather map.

nothing bugs me more than(especially in NCAA) having 2 teams play in the same city-ish and have completely different weather. I'm visiting SMU and my game is a sunny day game and my highlights reflect that, the TCU user uploads his home game highlights from the same kickoff time and he is playing in a torential downpour...

have a weather map or forecast for the week, central Texas(austin) is expecting 90% rain with concentric circles outwards lowering the probability of bad weather. that way you have an idea that ok this week I have a 50% chance of rain or it looks like it is just going to be a hot September day or the cold front has hit but it looks like I'll probably just have a cold weather day or whatever.

anything is better than just randomly assigning a weather outcome with each game being started. this could also be used in CPU simming, the CPU is always getting perfect weather to rack up their stats while I'm playing 2 home games in the rain and 2 road games in bad weather in the north east and struggling to have solid stats.

Sorry for the extreme bump, but I would rather bump an old thread than start a new one.

So last night I started year two of a dynasty with Maryland. I played the first 6 games, went 5-1, and noticed that almost every game (both home and away) was rain. Here was my schedule:

Week 1: Bye
Week 2: At home vs Rutgers
Week 3: At home vs Wake Forest
Week 4: Away vs West Virginia
Week 5: Away vs Temple (Sun)
Week 6: Away vs Florida State
Week 7: Away vs Clemson

Week 8 was a bye and then it was pushing midnight EST so I was off to bed.

I know nothing will come of this, but I just wanted to vent a little frustration. 5 of my 6 games were in the rain (day and night games). Poor Maryland must have a rain cloud just following them, ha.

For me (9 times out of 10) if the game I started is raining and I quit it, when I start the new game there is no rain.
