I don't think it is a lot to ask them to include features that they had in a last-gen version of the game. If they could accomplish in-game saves on a version of the consoles with significantly less resources, it shouldn't be an issue to do it this generation at all. It is just another in a long line of examples of EA not caring what people really want.

I agree with you that I would trade in-game saves for a bug free Madden experience. Sadly, I have ZERO faith in that occuring. This year is all presentation and gimped online season play for Madden. Granted, I appreciate the presentation upgrades, but a shiny turd is still just a turd.

Several potential reasons:

1. Name recognition. I am sure there are reviewers who have that, "Oh its Madden, it must be good" attitude.

2. Many reviewers probably don't really know or care about sports games or they may be "causual" Madden gamers.

3. EA is so powerful that some gaming sites may feel intimiadated to give that good score.

4. They don't play the game long enough before reviewing the game thus not finding the bugs or gameplay issues that people in this forum will.

5. Who knows what goes on behind closed doors with gaming sites and the big and powerful EA. Is there a "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" attitude? I don't know if that is the case but one really has to wonder from time to time.

Oh, wait...there is no other current football game.

I guess I will just have to like what they put out in what is considered to be the next gen market which we all have spent a pretty dollar on, without ever demanding a better prodcut from this company who has monopolized the football gaming scene. How dare we demand better.
Wanting a better product is fine.The problem I have is people saying how much they hate EA,but continue to buy their product.If it's crap and has been crap,don't buy it,plain and simple.I don't care if it's the last of its kind,I'm still not going to buy something I hate.

Exactly. If more people voiced their displeasure through buying habits rather then rants, EA would be sure to make changes.

Well put.
and if you are going to buy but have some reservations and want a better product, and your not 1 of those 'midnight line guys', at least pick it up used (Im sure there'll be plenty).

Re: Madden NFL 09, No In-Game Saves

I have three children and a wife as well.

I'm not happy about accelerated clock not being in the game, but if I played without in games saves last year, I can do the same this year. Granted, I also understand folks who were used to it last gen and won't have it this gen.

I can only hold out hope the game has minimal or no bugs.

You could have played Madden for 8 hours last year and realized the terrible bugs and issues with the game. There were that many and they were that obvious.

I am disappointed in EA big time, I know the bugs and gltiches are very important, and online leagues are very important to probably a majority, just upset that I was mislead, and for a franchise player with not all the time in the world to play, this would be a great feature. That is the future that keeps me coming back for MLB 2k8. As long as I can finish a game in an hour I will be happy.

Bugs and glitches are important and online leagues are nice, but I bet that less people will use them than you would think. Regardless, given EA's previous track record, neither of these things will be right anyway.

The online season will probably suck and online play will probably be terrible as in the past. The same bugs and glitches that were in the game last year will probably still be there.

I swear if the game doesn't ship with the same fumble issue and simmed CPU INTs issue, I'll be shocked.

Re: Madden NFL 09, No In-Game Saves

This is one of the dumbest complaint about Madden yet!!! Damn you EA for not taken account my life outside video games.
