Random Weather

[beantownbruins]

Hey guys I just started a franchise and noticed that every time I start a game I get to choose to weather. I don't like this feature because I like random weather. Any way to turn random weather on? I feel I must have missed something. Thanks.

You didn't miss anything, but the weather won't always be the same when you hit that select screen. That's how it's randomized. Think of that option as just being a manual override to the automatic choice.

Oooo ok cool. I actually love that feature then, pretty cool. Thanks!

Just going to piggyback this thread.

Question, 162/6=27 , not taking into account any anomalies, if a die roll produces 27 days of rain, does that sound too high or too low?

I have one die (dice).

1 ~ Clear Skies.

2&3 ~ Partly Cloudy.

4&5 ~ Overcast.

6 ~ Rain.


27 days of clear skies.
(81 days of clear skies/partly cloudy.)
54 days of partly cloudy..
(108 days of partly cloudy/overcast.)
54 days of overcast.
(81 days of overcast/rain.)
27 days of rain.

This would, without anomalies, be roughly 12-14 days of rain @CitiField.

It used to give random broadcast/weather each time you went into a franchise game.

However, after the second to last title update, it somehow messed this up, as the broadcast/weather settings are always default to the same settings when going into a franchise game (you can still change them manually).

This is hopefully a bug that they will fix in the next update.

Holy cow, I had to do a double take at the original thread start date. I saw it was something I posted in and didn't realize it was from that long ago. And just after I dove the search engine for something back in '14 too

Interesting seeing how people try to work around this bug.

Yeah, I think I found pretty much the oldest relevant thread not in the Last Gen forums
And I had been wanting do something along these lines even before the way it currently is, bug or not. But I want it weighted toward cloudy and overcast. I actually don't like it completely random split even between all four scenarios.

This gives you the chance of rain and cloud cover for a city on a given day. Then I fire up the rng and determine the weather. I honestly might keep doing this even if they fix the bug. Example: Baltimore on May 28 there’s a 35% of rain so if I get 1-35 it rains. 48% chance of overcast so 35-48 is cloudy. 48-100 is partly cloudy or sunny.
