Is there rain in odi's??

[Mtk]

Is there rain feature in odi's in c2005? in c2004 it rained only during tests . Is it so in c2005 also ??plz anyone tell me.

I dont think so. I can remember there was this exact question in the Q&A with the developer of the game. And i'm sure the answer was no.

No

No because introducing the DL method would be hard.

I remember AW saying something about "No one really understands DL" as an excuse for excluding rain in ODIs.

But no-one REALLY does understand D/L :P

I think it's good that there is no rain in ODI's.

The excuse they gave is pretty poor though. They could of just admitted they don't know how to implement it.

The beauty of D/L is you don't acually have to understand the actual equation to understand how the system works, because lets face it not many people understand

Z(u,w)=Zo(w)[1-exp(-b(w)u)]

to be honest i don't understand the DL method.. there is rain in test matches however.

Since no one understands it EA could have just made up some random score to chase and no one would say "hey thats not correct" as they have no idea how it works. All they really had to do is if a team lost a wicket the total would increase.

Its not that hard to calculate, Ok you can't do it in your head or with a pocket calculator but its just an equation so should be easy to implement into the game (if they could have been bothered).
