Mid-Game Save

[kiddstyle]

Does anyone know if this is in Madden 11?

Not 100% sure but I don't think it is. Gameflow is suppose to shorten games.

another last gen feature that they somehow couldn't include this gen. Hey maybe instead of gameflow they should just allow you to do mid game saves.

Trust me i would love to have in game saves back in the game...Even with gameflow sometimes things pop up and you have to stop playing. I like to play 11-13 minute quarters to get realistic stats and to get a full game in nowadays is tough (especially with a family)

we all want in game saves, I'm not sure if Ian or anyone has ever said why they're not in...I would say that they must be huge files, but if the Show can do it, anyone else should be able to .

I'll give Ian a call on his lunch and ask him...oh wait, Ian wouldn't care if I fell through off my balcony LOL.

Ian said last year that it was something they really wanted to add but they ran out of time.

Who knows what the excuse is this year???

I was just searching for this topic! I was going to ask this myself. The bolded part is exactly me. And it's the only reason I haven't played a "next gen" madden yet. I take that back I did play '09 but no in-game saves stopped my progress. I just can't commit with family and what not.

That's not to say I don't game for endless hours at times but for some reason everytime I start a game that I can't save midway through something pops up and I have to stop and do something else.

I like to play 15min quarters with full 25 second run off but this year the play clock will only run down to 20secs max where as last year I think it was 13 so you get way too many plays off. What's the point of having 25sec run off if it only does 20.
