Re: Madden NFL 09, No In-Game Saves

Even if they made saves only available at the end of each quarter I would be (fairly) happy. Games like GTA (I haven't played the new one yet) have essentially in-games saves at specific points.

I miss the accelerated clock even more.

Good point ... at the end of each quarter, or even at halftime would more than suffice for me. I can pretty much always find enough time to get a half-game in. I wonder if that's something EA would look at for future games, and if having it that way versus "anytime saves" would make it easier to implement?

I agree with this.

And to take it even a step further, they should do automatic saves at he end of each quarter. That would actually be a better solution, because that way, if the game ever freezes or crashes on you you will automatically be saved at the end of the previous quarter.

So let's change our rally cry from just in-game saves to at least automatic saves...

I think that's a great idea.

The battlecry seems to always be: "Maybe next year!"

$60 and the utterance of the battlecry!

You'r right, that is the way to go. Because in-game saves would only be utilized if you're going to go do something so they wouldn't help if a thunderstorm caused the power to go out. I like this idea a lot better than in-game saves.

They "weren't able to get in game saves working" but they could get a feature where you can rewind gameplay and play it over again. I don't believe it, but if that is the case, where are ea priorities?
