New challenge for modders: lightning

Major League Baseball has a lightning problem, study shows

Quote:

During a night when every Major League Baseball team is in action, odds are that lightning activity is unsafely close to at least one of its stadiums, a recent study found.

Talk about a wide strike zone.

Seriously, it would be nice to have some graphical representation of precip and delays.

I would live to see rain or the flag blowing. Would be a nice extra touch

We should have multiple skyboxes with conditional modifiers!

I am sure this kind of stuff will actually come in time...FM shows weather effects (snow, rain etc). The difference here however, is baseball is not played in these elements. So I could see where you might start to see rain coming down, but after that, it's going to be a delay/cancellation.

I honestly think there are a lot more pressing issues the OOTPD team needs to be working on and/or priotitizing however.

Agree, if not skyboxes then allow for variety of different sky backgrounds that are picked randomly for each game (kinda like how sounds are used) but also weather specific ones such as overcast, partly cloudy, clear, etc.

Just wait...I'm all fired up about the new toy Mrs. Cobb agreed to let me get...boxes may be back!
