midaz101 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Is there any way to make the weather in the game more realistic? meaning like it should rain a lot in Seattle and it shouldn't be like 70 degrees in a day game in Miami, is there a file that can be modded to change this?

midaz101 Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 it doesn't rain that much in seattle. LOL i've always heard it does, anyways that sucks about not being able to change this, it really annoys me to play in Miami and have a day game in the 50s during the summer.

endeavor Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 it doesn't rain that much in seattle. Seattle actually lies in the so-called "Rain Shadow", near Olympic Mountains, which is a mountain range on the Olympic Peninsula of western Washington. Some of these locations get up to 130 inches of rain per year. While the city of Seattle's rain average is not nearly as high, with an average of just under 40 inches per year, it still belongs to the nation's top three "Rainy Cities". In addition, Seattle averages more than 200 cloudy days per year, mostly accompanied with an ever so slight drizzle. Therefore, your comment is not quite accurate :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 actually, my comment was plenty accurate. i'm well aware of how much it rains there seeing as i've lived here my whole life. i know for a fact that it rains a lot, i too see the data on it. but if you looked at the latest study they released on it in late 2007, you'll see that the majority of rainfall occurs in the southeast areas of the u.s. in fact this study showed that not a single city from washington made the top 20. and bear in mind the study did not include any city from hawaii or alaska, which we know for fact that many of them had well over 100 inches of rain. on average the top 10 cities in the u.s. had roughly 60 inches of rain a year. seattle doesn't even come close to this. just because it rains a lot here, doesn't mean it rains as frequently as most of you perceive it to be. just as most people perceive california weather to be sunny and hot all the time. though this is somewhat true, it's not 100% acccurate, since you'd be a fool to visit san francisco without a jacket. on top of that, it could be a perfectly sunny hot day and they still consider it a rain day in the data because it drizzled at night while everyone was sleeping. on top of that, if you attended every home game in seattle in a single season, it's not going to be raining 90% of those games. in that very same study, you'll see that olympia, wa ranked at number 1 for the most frequent rainy days, at a whopping 60+ days out of 365. but it just so happens olympia is a 3+ hour drive south of seattle. and on top of even that, as mvp has already mentioned, there's a retractable roof, so you won't be seeing that much rain during home games even if by some miracle, all those 60 rain days occurred during the baseball season. so sorry to burst anybody's bubble, but it doesn't rain 100% of the time in seattle, otherwise you'd see well beyond 130 inches of rain a year.

LMAO don't ever cross Homer, anyways about the Seattle thing i was under that impression but i wanted to change the weather thing more than anything for the Marlins, because it is very unrealistic.
