StormJH1 - but the point of my post was even if you're a "lone-wolf" like me without a wife and kids a power outage can happen to anyone....

In-game saves are a must. You never know when you may have to leave or something. There has been plenty of times I wanted to start a game but didn't because I know I wouldn't have time to finish.

Most people would think that Madden is a better game than MLB 2k, but since the latter has in-game saves, it's a lot easier for me to commit to starting one of those games.

I married and have a two year old and I still don't care or see the uproar over havin in-game saves... I know when I can get a game in, I know when T-storm is going on to not to start a game....

heh heh, well I knew last night (the thunder storm) but I had nothing else to do...but with that being said, a power outage can occur anytime, not just when a thunderstorm is going on!!

In-game saves = awesome.

Honestly, if it wasn't for them, I'd probably NEVER finish a game of The Show lol.

Exactly. This is more often the case for guys with families (two young kids myself) but everyone can use them at times. I've played 47 games in my MLB 2K10 franchise and I've probably used the in game save at least 10 times. I'm often up early in the morning and will start playing between 5 and 5:30. If one of my kids gets up before I finish I just save the game, go have breakfast and finish the game later. I'd never attempt that with an NCAA dynasty game knowing I might not finish a game.

I have a battery backed surge protector that can power my TV, cable box and PS3 for up to an hour if the power goes out. I'm screwed in an online game though because the modem and router aren't on it. I'd still like to have in-game saves though. I use that feature on The Show often.

Agreed but what happens if you start a game you half way through the first qtr and your power go out for no apparent reason, you didn't have time to save the game. Now what?
