CaptainPlanet Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Do the pitch condition and the weather actually affect the match engine? In the freezing blowing gales of lower leagueness that I'm in I've never seen the ball stick in a puddle or a long hoofing ball get moved by the breeze.

Galactus Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 It's true I don't really tend to adjust for the weather anymore, maybe it would explain some unexpected results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crafty bison Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 It definitely used to in FM05. I certainly notice it less now if at all... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadfish Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I bet it adds like 0.01% to some equation somewhere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vampiere Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I don't adjust for weather anymore either, mostly because it seems like it rains every match. Drizzle to downpour, it seems like there's never a clear day..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baker.simon Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 In another post somewhere, Miles himself said that it does bear an effect, but its not a visual effect! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmontheloknow Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Weather is hopeless in FM. The whole of Scotland gets one type of weather yet I'd say the country has 3 or 4 distinct types of weather. Weather in Greenock for example is very different to Methil.

watsonsclarets Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 it does effect big time i use a short passing game and quick tempo and if the [itch is muddy or waterlogged what my passing ratio go down by at least 15 per cent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoShedsJackson Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Don't know about wind as I don't play long ball, but the pitch being muddy or soaking wet definitely makes through balls easier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Altho' they haven't coded the 3D to include visible rain, the weather does and always has had a big effect. Hit a long ball out to the wings on a dry day and it'll go in to touch; on muddy pitch it'll hold up. Trying your luck with long shots in windy or rainy conditions can be fruitful. Players get far more tired on a heavy pitch. I play short passing in dry windy conditions, and direct in heavy rain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
