    Real time weather? Yawn. I think I prefer artificial weather where I can decide whether it should rain or not. That is far more interesting than real time weather. Imagine if you want to play while it's raining. Chances are you won't be able to because it might be a thunderstorm and you kinda have to disconnect your electronics to keep them safe from lightning.

    I think you can still choose though. It doesn't HAVE to be real time.

    I really like this feature. They have included it with the new Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 and I think it is a cool little feature to have.
