Wind direction...

[ryancorey]

How do I know which direction the wind is blowing and its strength?
- The PA announcer will always say the gametime temperature, wind speed and wind direction after the very first pitch thrown in a game. Raise up the PA setting frpm the audio menu if you can't hear him loud enough.

Got the above response form a search on wind direction...My problem is this.

Yes The Pa announcer does mention wind speed and direction...but the direction he gives is "North to North East" or blowing from the "South". Do you all understand by those directions if the wind is blowing "IN or OUT"..because I don't

Good question ryancorey:

Wind direction is based from the batter point of view, the basics are
- Calm winds. Neutral
- wind Blowing North is centerfield
- wind blowing West is Leftfield
- wind blown East is Rightfield
- wind blowing South is homeplate.
- wind blowing North to N.East or N.West means a ball usally will travel farther than normal and will drift to either side. If hit close to the corners it may pull foul due to the direction of the blowing wind.
- wind blowing South to S.East or S.West means a ball hit deep has a better percentage of not going over the wall and will tail to either side of the field including heading into foul territory.

Gust of wind. (mph)
The stronger it is the higher your chances for driving a ball deep or having a potential homer being brought back into the field of play. It will also make the ball tail too or away from you fielder once you're underneath the ball.

Edit Update:
Truthfully all that was ever really needed is a animated wind meter (arrow) but this was never programmed into any of 2K's baseball games. Personally I'm all for wind direction and wind gust changing throughout the game. But I may be asking for bit much.
