Lack of night games in dynasty

[BonesKnows85]

I’ve come to accept no progressive lighting, but they need to at least correct the lighting at certain start times. I never see night games….

I’m Florida playing a 7:30pm start time at FSU in late November and it’s still daylight. Which means the whole game is played in daylight. That game should definitely be a night game. The only way you’ll ever see a night game is with a 9pm start bc daylight savings isn’t being factored in. Even if this game did start during the day, they should make this a night game since most of it would be played in the dark.

It would be nice to choos Manually night or day. Same for wheather. I don’t understand why ea is so stiff with it

This would be the most sensible solution to me. Always a fan of giving the people choices; it would also give EA some leeway in the event they made a starting time mistake. Seems like a win-win.

thank you for sharing this. While i haven't started a Dynasty yet, this will be the #1 "Immersion Killer" if it happens. Especially playing NAT'L games in 'prime time' or schools in the west that play alot of night games. PLEASE fix this EA (ideally via letting us override the time of day at game set-up screen). This stands to be my #1 patch request.

Yes, the weather in this game is ridiculous, as it was in 14. I lived in Charlotte for 3 years and we never had a December snow. Once every three years in 14 it would snow for the ACC Championship Game and/or the Belk Bowl. In this year's release I have played 4 consecutive rain games. The bad weather games are mostly cosmetic and don't seem to have an effect on the game.

I've never understood the blatant over confidence those working on the game have. It's fine to take away workarounds if you get things like this right, but to not let us fix something that you get wrong is baffling.

I fail to see what's so wrong with "You can set the weather for any game you want!" Is this somehow tied to NIL too?

I’ve noticeably seen more fumbles by me and my opponents in rain games (I’ve played as Louisiana, ECU and UAB so I haven’t seen a snow game yet).

There's a mental ability which reduces the effect of weather on a player, The Natural.

To that end, I have to assume that weather affects players without this ability in some way.
