Teambuilder weather issues in Dynasty

I have noticed issues with the weather in Dynasty when using a Team Builder school. Even when using a generic stadium, the location of the team doesn’t appear to matter. For example, my team is in New Jersey. It should not ever be 100 degrees at any point. And it never gets appropriate weather late season.

  • 100 degrees in New Jersey isn’t as unrealistic as you think, considering there’s a heat advisory with an expected high of 104 F today. What’s your idea of appropriate weather?

    so 100 degrees in Jersey?

    Sure... Seen it a bunch in NJ and even further north up to Cuse/ Canada area...

    100 degrees at the same time as a driving rainstorm, like ANYWHERE other than the Amazon Rain Basin?: Nah.. weather has been broke since last year... The game should just use known tech and ping a weather server for info like it did 10+ years ago for in-game weather

    I saw it raining at 100 degrees at a TB game in Colorado.. Colorado is technically a semi-arid desert.  It gets as many sunny days in CO as there are Rainy days in Seattle...  All that work on dynamic lighting and you can NEVER show it off due to oversights in quality control... typical EA

  • The issue with pinging a weather server was, probably, it leading to static weather. After all, people tend to play multiple games a day. And, I, certainly, wouldn't find having all my home games at, say, Colorado State being 75 F, or whatever the current temp is, and rainy because of Colorado's traditional 15:00 (3 p) clouding on a rainy day fun. I know this because I'd vacation in the Colorado Springs area before that aunt and uncle moved to my state of residence. Thus, the only slightly unrealistic thing is it being 100 F in the mountains.

    Pinging the server doesn't neccessarily mean hitting it up for info for THAT VERY MOMENT... it could very easily be used to query the server for weather info for actual gameday date of the year prior, or something to that extent... 

    I lived in CO for 15 years and own land there, but also spend most of my time in upstate NY, so my perception of water in CO is askew.  I just know that during summers in FTC and Denver it'd rain once a week, for like 5 mins.  Fall was even LESS precipitation on the Front Range at 4-6000 FT (where all the cities in CO that actually matter are...)  I've NEVER seen a game with rain IN BOULDER.. It's either sunny, snowing, or night.  I'm sure some have happened, but i also used to work games on the sidelines at CSU in the early 2000s (was doing comms and sound), and was getting sunburned all the time and never had to really account for the rain that season, just the cold at the end of it...   

    TB teams would have an issue with this, but it's an easy fix down the road anyway.  (Pin TB teams to region within the home state and force the weather ping to use those statistics)

    I just don’t understand how this is an issue in 2025. I can remember playing dynasty on NCAA 2003, 04, 05, 06, and the weather actually changing as season went on. Almost all October and November games were cold, you see the players breathing, long sleeves, etc. I really hope EA does something but I don’t it. I shouldn’t have a season where I play zero cold games and I’m based out of Alaska.

    100 in July, and August and maybe... maybe... Sept. But not in Oct->Dec. So 100 today is one thing, but it's not football season either.

    I'm not sure the teambuilder teams get the weather to impact at all, at least in '25 - I had thought it might be related to the team they replace, nope not that. I thought it might be the stadium they pick, nope not that either. I thought it might be the created city that you give them in the team builder, nope. So I'm not sure if anything impacts their weather. I really wanted to have a cold/snow stadium for my team, but replacing Buffalo, Central Michigan, Northwestern and their similar stadiums (during different dynasties,) and not a single snow game at home in about 20 seasons of playing. 

  • Ya it is definitely undercooked for sure I tried the same took Buffalo as site for my team builder and Central Michigan as well and used Pitt as stadium and no snow at all and average temp in November is 90 degrees no matter where I play I have never ever had a snow game even in 25 and had like 400 + hours of team builder play time game is just mid with the bonked weather bad logic and constant crashes

    I created a teambuilder team based in montana for cfb26. Generic stadium.  I expected weather to get colder as season went on. The first game kicked off at 98 degrees. By November was still in mid 80s. By late December for home playoff game it was 70 degrees. Every game was sunny. But when playing away games in neighboring states weather was already getting colder. I had to double check i clicked montana for the state and not a southern state.  I experimented replacing different teams but no change.  And I have another teambuilder based in texas. Exact same weather pattern.  I did a dynasty with texas longhorns.  Weather hit 66 on November 1st. Im from Austin,  I doubt austin hits 60 degree weather before montana does. Its hot as balls here year round with a brief "winter".  Anyway by November 29 week 14 the temperature hit 58 in Austin at 3:30pm. That temperature never occurred for my teambuilder in montana . I did another dynasty with Washington state cougars . Weather hit 35 in late November.  I dont think teambuilder weather is working properly.
