What are you talking about? In-game saves have been in the game within 10 years and were on the last gen consoles. They've just been missing on the current gen consoles for the last 4 years. And there are no Mascot games in Madden..

This is a HUGE let down for me. In game saves should be the norm in sports games. I can't believe that EA has dropped the ball on this. Sad, truly sad.

Being able to replay a down that didnt' go my way, but not being able to save a tremendous game in the middle of the action due to outside interference? Simply pathetic. And EA says that they have heard the "requests" for this feature but choose to "ignore it" and focus their time on a feature(Rewind feature) that no one asked for? No excuse whatsoever. And EA, this is coming from one of your biggest supporters.

I also have a wife and three kids and it is hard enough trying to find the time to play and spend time with the family. At this point, the little bit of gaming time I have has to count, i.e. franchise games etc...

It's getting to the point where I can barely get through a season, because I need a full hour+ (to get realistic stats) for each game. In-game would solve this issue. I could play 1/2hour here and 45 minutes the next time, and every game would count toward me completing franchise games. Right now, I end up rushing through games or simming with ridiculous stats... THis takes alot away from enjoyment.

The bottom line is I'm going to have to stop spending money on a game that I'm not getting the most out of. $60 is a lot of money to be spending on a game that doesn't live up to it's billing or fufill a basic level of enjoyment.

This continued greater attention by EA to the PS2 version is kind of gimping the industry. It's time to move on, people!
