Let the weather affect games in certain stadiums.

I am going on the assumption we have stadiums for our teams and even if we don't still where our team is located should somewhat affect games.

Like if someone has a team in Florida or even a stadium for that matter for that team in Florida that really the weather is not going to be so terrible both teams are going to have a rough game of it.

Now if someone has a team in lets say Alaska or even a stadium for that matter for that team in Alaska that really the weather should pretty terrible both teams are going to struggle in the elements.

All I am really asking is that the location where we have our team gives games where basically the weather is not going to be a factor or we might have weather that might affect the game.

what I am trying to say is like if someone was playing a MLB video game and they pick Colorado Rockies then really they should have some terrible weather and also every game is going to very high scoring affairs awhile if someone else picks San Diego Padres then really they should have great weather and really every game is going to be close low scoring game.

The weather is simulated and does impact the game - wind will impact the flight path of the ball for both passing and field goals, precipitation will impact footing and turnovers. Heat will impact fatigue as well. In real life there is not a huge impact by weather, but it does have a nominal influence, which is what we're trying to do here as well.

It would help if we could have forecasts.

Yes, I'm working toward a game preview that would include forecasts.
