Or, suppose you are Philadelphia, 1.5 games out of 1st place coming out of the All Star break. You have a monster road trip, starting with three games in Washington, then four games in Atlanta, and then three in Miami. Your starting pitchers are lousy; your bullpen is effective but overworked. The team doctor just emailed you that your closer is out for 7 days with a dead arm. What do you do? Pray the bullpen doesn’t melt in the heat? Call up an extra MR? Put the CL on the 15 day DL and hope he’s speaking to you in two weeks? You better have signed him to that contract extension before the road trip, because he may hate your guts for months!

dola, does the AI take weather in to account?

It brings peeps out early, if that's what you're asking.

I don't see anything about the most probable directionality of the wind. Was that left out this time?

It is in there

Craig Scarborough · 03-03-2007, 08:21 AM

The blogger mentions resting your 35-year old centerfielder on a cold, April night - is there really a greater propensity for injury when it's raining and cold?

I was really hoping for this too.

(And that the weather conditions would appear somewhere on the broadcast screen in addition to the webcast screen

)

Yes, although just a few %.

Fibonacci · 03-03-2007, 08:48 AM

The blog doesn't state it explicitly, but implies that weather also effects position player injury and endurance.

"Do you really want to put your aging, fragile, CF out their in the cold rain. Or are you going to protect his hamstring and your pennant chances by giving him the night off? "

Any explicit answers?

battists · 03-03-2007, 09:12 AM

Fib, see Markus' response above.

No rainouts. Rainouts totally wreak havoc with schedules, which are already one of the most difficult aspects of the game. It's just not worth the time (IMO) to code this to work properly. It would take days and days.

Do the longitude and latitude coordinates in the Cities.txt file have any impact in the game?

FA signings.

Ok, I'll bite, how do the Lat and Long coordinates impact FA signings? Players might want to stay closer to "home"?

Bingo!

This was in 2006, also.

Kemp · 03-03-2007, 11:58 AM

So then I'd like to confirm that Lat/Long have nothing to do with the weather. From the last blog, it sounds like the weather effects will all come from that csv weather file.

deadringer · 03-03-2007, 12:05 PM

If I import a roster set I'm using in 2006 (one created by Rolen) into 2007, will the weather be taken care of or will I need to do something to get the weather data in?
