Default Rained Out

Is it just me or does when a game get rained out, they just have you do it over on the same day? I just got rained out in the 6th inning in a 0-0 tie and they just act as though I never started the game. It would be a ton more realistic to set it at a later date, possibly a doubleheader. Also, doing this the pitcher stanima should be what it is after it gets rained out, not act as though they never made a pitch.

Double headers would be nice. It would add a little bit of startagey to the game in using your pitchers and call ups, instead of starting the game over.

Yeah, they definately f'ed up on this one. I have rain outs off as well, so I don't have to play games over again for no good reason.

Programming a rain out for an empty day in both team schedules probably was hard to code, priority-wise. Look forward to it in next years game I imagine.

Too hard to code in a "computer program"? Are you serious, or are you just making this stuff up on the fly. Its very easy for a computer program to find a day in a schedule and place the game there. Or.... since this is not real, you can always make up the game at the end of the year.

Double headers would be the most simple solution, just put the game in the schedule the next time the teams meet.

This is my whole problem with this game. They should not have put all these little gimmicks like rain delays/rain outs if they can't polish them. What was their purpose, other than take time away from perfecting actually gameplay, especially when they don't work correctly anyway.

It's not like 2K8 having rain-outs and make-ups is something new to baseball video games. High Heat had them and that was 8 years ago.

Default No Rain Shortened Games?

Just rainouts? I was trailing the Mets 2-0 in the top of the sixth and batting. Umps call the game due to rain. Last I checked, Major League baseball games were official after five innings. So, why is the game scheduled to be replayed? Although, they blew the rainout all together with the make up game actually being the same date of the rainout.

Obviously, Microsoft does not take as much time certifying games as they do patches.
