Right! with such useful and pertinent additions like; holographic training, and stadium exteriors how dare we complain that something useful and not very new isnt included in our $60, been coming out for 20 years, game.

It's not like they haven't had this feature before.

Its not the end of the world as some people may think. 2K8 basketball also don't have in-game save, I don't see the outrage there.

Oh its not that big of a deal to me. Personally it doesn't matter as I usually make sure I have the time to play a full game, but I understand people's frustration. The series is moving at a snails pace. 4 years in a feature like this should be in the game. Especially since it was in the game last generation.

There is no, and I mean no excuse for Madden in the year 2008 to not have something as basic as in-game saves.

YES!

I mean WTF? Why can't we get in game saves???

I think the outrage can partly be blamed on EA, but then part of it is out of their hands. The part that is out of their hands is that Madden is always going to be targeted, fairly or unfairly, because it's a big name. But besides that I do believe EA had posted in-game saves as one of the official additions to this year's game (though I would need to check again to see), and then at the event last week some sites posted that in-game saves did make it into the game -- now that could be a press failure/miscommunication, or EA said so. As Steve said in the original preview, EA didn't have the in-game saves in the build on-hand and didn't confirm one way or the other....But the belief that they would be in had to come from somewhere, so either one or both sides (EA and the press -- and I include OS in the press portion) slipped up somewhere.

We don't have accelerated clock either?

I know this news upsets a lot of people, but the swearing, bypassing the language filter needs to stop. If you can't discuss this maturely then infractions, or trips to the cell will be handed out.

Nope, why would you expect to have a 5 year old useful feature in your game?

I assume you are talking to me. My bad. I was just really.......ummmmm, I'll go with irritated.

Truthfully, I've never read the policy on posting on here and what you can/can't say.

Sorry.
