weather?

notareus · 12-12-2004, 01:21 AM

I remember that High Heat a few years back (before they ruined it) had weather, some times it would start to rain, etc. This might be a good random thing to add, colder weather in northern cities in the early seson, and less offense (ball won't travel as well in the cold.) some areas are hot as all get out (Texas), other's are windy, Chicago, Boston. I know there are some impacts in the game engine set up for stadiums, but it levels things out, rather than impact games one at a time. The rain delays are Ok, but only affect pitchers, I'm thinking of rain outs, make up games, forced double headers, etc.

Besides rainouts, all of this is already in there... check the Edit Stadiums screen. (chance of rain and different temperatures per stadium per month, different wind speeds and direction per stadium... and temperature has an effect on pitcher endurance, not sure about a "ball flight effect" though)

Yeah, this stuff is already in the game. Markus even recently mentioned that game temperature affects pitcher endurance. And it's been said that wind affects homeruns.

There are rain delays, heat impacts endurance, fielders can slip on wet grass, and wind can blow balls into or out of the park. BTW snow is also possible.

Yep, I've had snow at a game before.
