I don't know what game your playing but I can't finish a game of 2k4 in under an hour.

How many minutes do you play? 20-25 minutes? Thats like 5 minute quarters man...for ESPN, thats not real sim-like.

It's a must have for next year. I guess for now the light bills gonna be a bit higher because i dont like starting a g game and having to cut it off and play it again. So ill have to leave the game on.

At least ESPN is only $20 this year, so your total bills may even out somewhat...

In any case, what's wrong with the existing "Simulate To End" feature if you can't finish a game? This is only for Franchise mode, but still useful if you can't complete a game in one sitting. It doesn't break your momentum from having to play one game in two different sittings either. Just turn off injuries before you do it and you should be fine.

While I can see why in-game save would be nice to have, I honestly don't believe it is necessary compared to all the other new stuff being put in. In my experience with Madden 2003 / Madden 2004, I never really used in-game saves anyway. Thus for me it is not necessary.

who cares how long it takes... if for some reason you have to leave during a game, just leave your xbox on until the next day. I do it all the time.

If your problem is having friends over... well time it better next time before they come.

I don't think it's a must to have in-game saves. On most my games if I have to leave in the middle of a game, I just leave my XBOX on and pause it. Most of my games have the in-game save option, I'd just prefer to leave the XBOX on instead of having to load everything back up..That's just my opinion though.
