Some people say that cucumbers taste better pickled.

It affects me because I, like a lot of people, would like to have a good, new, NFL game to play.

And sense were throwing around baseless accusations: there isn't the slightest chance you are not going to buy M '09. You know it, I know it, heck everyone here knows it.

I, on the other hand, fully intend to try out Madden, and if what I play impresses me sufficiently I will buy it. I will also go see the next Uwe Boll movie if Roger Ebert gives it 4 stars.

I wouldn't say in no time. Apparently they tried to implement them but they didn't work.

Believe what you want. I have my opinion.

Seriously, how long could it take them to implement a feature they've already done before into a more powerful machine.

I am only going by what was mentioned on the forums. I believe that Steve mentioned that while in Vancouver, he got a chance to see this game and they tried to do an in-game save(as it was an option) but it didn't work.

I wasn't trying to discredit you or anything, just pointing out that apparently they can't put in-game saves into the game in no time, because when they tried, it didn't work.

apparently longer than it should as it didn't work when they tried it.

Which just baffles me, and brings up the old accusation (one I don't havent subscribed to ) that tiburon is wanting in the coding dept.

It seems to be more difficult than people seem to think. While it pisse me off to no end to not have in-game saves (I firmly believe it should be a standard in every sports game), in talking to both the developers for NFL2k5 and MLB The Show, it sounds pretty hard. I have been begging Kolbe for years for in-game saves. It was always a time constraint thing with them as well. Finally it got in this year. I bugged Shawn Lee for years with the 2k series and APF, again it was always a time constraint thing. Just never super high on the priority list, but difficult enough to warrant significan development time. I don't think you could accuse the MLB or 2k teams to be wanting in the coding dept.
