Which way is the wind blowing??

I think its time to add a location of the wind in the playcalling portion of the game. On many instances, I have had to waste a time out and then choose to punt the ball instead of kick the field goal because i cant tell where wind is heading.
Also , when choosing option after coin toss, can you actually tell me which side the wind is on and the correct option to select with the wind behind you??

Thank you

  • This is the single most important indicator that is missing from the Madden series... A wind indicator should be available on every play in the play call screen. I can't tell you how many times I was driving down the field trying to get into field goal range and wondered how close I needed to be, but wasn't sure because there was no way to tell what the wind was doing...

  • What's even more infuriating is that in older Maddens the wind direction was part of the playbook UI and at the coin toss it show the field and highlight the endzone you were choosing. Hopefully they recycle it as a "new" feature next year.
  • Be pretty cool if wind affected passes. But I have a distrust relationship w/ EA. It would be a 1mph breeze and passes would sail because of it.

    weather needs to affect all aspects of game play this would be a great feat, having to adjust ur game plan due to it
  • The wind direction should cause the kick meter to move faster when the kicker can't sense the wind angles.

    I'd be cool if the kicking meter moved due to wind so you'd have to try and hold it into position with the controller sticks.
