Rain Games

I've seen rain at Shea and a few minor league parks. If you're playing dynasty mode, you won't see rainouts unless it involves your major and/or minor teams.

At Shea? I've been playing their for the past three years and never seen any rain. I've only seen it Safeco. I wonder if you take out some of the stadium files that cause the rain in Safeco, and add it into some other stadiums.

By "seen rain," do you mean you've had games rained out?

Or do you mean you have actually SEEN rain FALLING in-game, while playing?

Because, even with the REDICULOUS amount of playing I do w/ this game - I have NEVER seen rain FALLING in-game.

I don`t get it. How can you have rained out games at safeco when it has a roof. Unless you have set the climate zone,in mvpedit, to outdoors.

i see rain alot in safeco in my dynasty in april and may, i'd say 40% of the night games have rain, then you see the roof starting to close, its pretty cool when you see the high view of the stadium between innings and you can watch the roof close towards the cam.

Can anyone clear this issue up and say "yes" or "no" to this question? I think what the original question was was is it possible to have actual rain fall during a user-played game.

I've been playing this game forever and have never seen that, even back to the days of Triple Play Baseball.

"yes"

It's very subtle, but at some ballparks rain is actually falling when you play the game.

What!? I have never seen the rain fall in the game. If that was a case then that would be a rain out. How can you have a rain falling in the safeco or houston when the climate zone is set to indoors.

Falling rain? I've played 600+ dynasty games over the past couple years and have never seen falling rain during a game. I've lost track of the number of rainouts however. Maybe it's a dynasty mode thing and it rains during exhibition where you can change the wind properties. Does the PBP guy or his idiot sidekick mention it when it begins to rain?

IMO...I don't think EA coded dynamic rain effects into the game engine.

I would love to see a screenshot if anyone can produce one sharp enough. It would be awesome to be proved wrong.

Yes, rain will start falling. You will see the physical rain drops. I've only seen it at safeco, and the roof starts closing after an inning or 2 or rain. You'll get it alot on dynasty night games at safeco early in the year. Never seen it in an exhibition game.

We're not making this up. To be honest I think it was a while before I noticed games where this happened too. I then got a couple of games in the row where it rained. I was a little shocked and wondered what effect it had on the physics/fielding ability of the players (not much was the answer). I played the game through it and the commentators didnt make a comment from memory - although i wonder if this was just the luck of the draw as they usually mention the weather in the 1st innning.

It does happen. It rains, you can see it. Only seen it in dynasty games and then only in a few stadiums. I have no idea how to make it happen more often.

[Rutger Hauer]I've seen things ....[Rutger Hauer]

anyway, I've seen rain falling during play in AT & T, Safeco and I believe in Wrigley Field. Pretty cool. The weather system in the game sucks though.

I believe you guys. You wouldn't be so positive about it if you hadn't seen it. I always play Dodger dynasties so other than Candlestick (AT&T Park) I rarely play Safeco, Houston, etc. I'll have to start an Angels dynasty so I check this out. I should know better...this game never fails to amaze me. I'll still be watching for that screenshot.

I have NEVER seen rain but it is always something I have been curious about. Well apparently it is pretty easy to create. All I did was start a Mariners dynasty and went to the 2nd game of the year against the A's. Well, it rained.

I captured a video but because of compression it is almost impossible to see the rain. I also took some still shots but those are not any better. Here is the video clip.
