Does the rainout feature actually take the climate of the ballpark's geographic location into account? Or is it just sort of a randomized thing for everyone?Bulldozers wrote:Why not play half your home games in Yuma? Your ballplayers might enjoy the annual average rainfall of 3 inches and a wettest baseball month (August) when a half an inch (.49) typically falls. No rainouts in 10 years!Shisa wrote: Speaking as the manager of a team that plays in a city with a monsoon season and the occasional typhoon, I would not be in favor of this. Naha's average monthly rainfall in May, June, and August is 10 inches, with 7 inches in July and September. Our schedule would be a wreck.

Re: OOTP 16
I would assume that it takes into account the geographic location. You would expect a rainouts in the upper Midwest and East Coast every year, but West Coast ballparks often go decades without them. I would have to assume Yuma, Tempe, Palm Springs and Bakersfield would rarely see rainouts, while the likes of New Orleans might find them a little more frequent. From my experience playing solo leagues, it seems rain delays are a lot more frequent for my Texas teams in the months that would normally be wetter down here.Codgers wrote:Does the rainout feature actually take the climate of the ballpark's geographic location into account?

I've bought mine already lol ! I think with London's climate it might become the best $15m I've spent.

You know I have to include the PEBA in any press I do for OOTP, right?
Glad you liked the RTR. This next version is simply sick. You guys are going to love it.

Re: OOTP 16
Gave me a big lift when I read RTR this morning after rolling out of the Paris to Toulouse overnight train. Just what I needed at 6am, a good piece by the great JR on the PEBA ! Now can't wait to get home to catch up with the Underground lol
