Re: Madden NFL 09, No In-Game Saves
Then please stop buying their games.Ridiculous. Just another reason for me not to waste money on EA being useless pricks. I have a hard time believing it'd take much time to throw this into the game especially since they have in last gen games so clearly it is just them not giving a crap about the consumer.
In game saves should be a MUST in every sports game, especially on the 360. Why? Because the damn system is so unreliable. In my oh, 4 or 5 years of my 08 franchise I'd say i have had 5-7 games crash because of a DRE or freezing. The worst was one that crashed with a few minutes left in the 4th qtr.
I hate EA. The day they got that NFL license was the worst day for video game football.Comment

Re: Madden NFL 09, No In-Game Saves
Seriously? Isn't that typical EA? Fix one thing but take out another. It's been going on for years. I have $100 and some swampland that says those jackasses will be touting in game saves as a feature next year.Goodness people.Talk about thankless!You want your cake and to eat it too.EA has a buggy Madden 08,not happy and rightfully.EA leaves out in game saves to try and eliminate bugs and such and you're still not happy.You know I would rather have play a full game before I can save and be mostly bug free,then play a bug infested game that I'll be lucky to play long enough to save.A bug infested game to ruins the fun of the game such as Madden 08.
Again, we are minority. The majority of their customers play 5 minute quarters and games last 30 minutes.
I'm not defending them, but it makes sense.Comment

Re: Madden NFL 09, No In-Game Saves
If the games plays great, I can sacrifice this feature, but honestly I have very low confidence that the game will fix the issues in 08 and up the gameplay enough to make me happy. Plus the accelerated clock helps the gameplay for me, and that seems to be out. That is a big strike one for me.Goodness people.Talk about thankless!You want your cake and to eat it too.EA has a buggy Madden 08,not happy and rightfully.EA leaves out in game saves to try and eliminate bugs and such and you're still not happy.You know I would rather have play a full game before I can save and be mostly bug free,then play a bug infested game that I'll be lucky to play long enough to save.A bug infested game to ruins the fun of the game such as Madden 08.
Honestly I don't think it's too much to ask for a feature that we had 4 years ago."It's a dog-eat-dog world and I'm wearing Milk-Bone underwear."

Re: Madden NFL 09, No In-Game Saves
Of course your points only make sense if EA does in fact REMOVE THE BUGS from the game, and that clearly remains to be seen. Remember they still promote the idea that 08' won all kinds of awards, etc, so obviously their idea of a "bug-free" game differes greatly from ours.Goodness people.Talk about thankless!You want your cake and to eat it too.EA has a buggy Madden 08,not happy and rightfully.EA leaves out in game saves to try and eliminate bugs and such and you're still not happy.You know I would rather have play a full game before I can save and be mostly bug free,then play a bug infested game that I'll be lucky to play long enough to save.A bug infested game to ruins the fun of the game such as Madden 08.Comment

Re: Madden NFL 09, No In-Game Saves
I agree 100%, but we are on the 4th version for this generation and they cannot get it to play correct by now? I know it is a small feature and I could care less about it as a single feature, but when you take a look at the features as a whole, the small additions add-up.Goodness people.Talk about thankless!You want your cake and to eat it too.EA has a buggy Madden 08,not happy and rightfully.EA leaves out in game saves to try and eliminate bugs and such and you're still not happy.You know I would rather have play a full game before I can save and be mostly bug free,then play a bug infested game that I'll be lucky to play long enough to save.A bug infested game to ruins the fun of the game such as Madden 08.Comment

Re: Madden NFL 09, No In-Game Saves
Yes,time will tell.If 09 is a buggy mess as 08 then even with the feature,it's still crap.So we will see if they actually make up for not including the feature.Comment

Re: Madden NFL 09, No In-Game Saves
Yeah,Madden 08 should have been stripped of all its great ratings and awards once all the bugs were uncovered.There is no way that game was the 9 0f 10 ratings it recieved.Of course your points only make sense if EA does in fact REMOVE THE BUGS from the game, and that clearly remains to be seen.

Re: Madden NFL 09, No In-Game Saves
Yeah... this year all the game reviewers will say how bad 08 was but how great 09 is (just like they did last year with 07 and 08). My question is this: If it was so bad how in the heck did it get a 9 out 10!Comment

Re: Madden NFL 09, No In-Game Saves
This quote is always funny to me when taking of Madden. That's right, I can stop buying their football game to buy......
Oh, wait...there is no other current football game.
I guess I will just have to like what they put out in what is considered to be the next gen market which we all have spent a pretty dollar on, without ever demanding a better prodcut from this company who has monopolized the football gaming scene. How dare we demand better.I drink to make other people interesting.Comment

I don't think it is a lot to ask them to include features that they had in a last-gen version of the game. If they could accomplish in-game saves on a version of the consoles with significantly less resources, it shouldn't be an issue to do it this generation at all. It is just another in a long line of examples of EA not caring what people really want.Goodness people.Talk about thankless!You want your cake and to eat it too.EA has a buggy Madden 08,not happy and rightfully.EA leaves out in game saves to try and eliminate bugs and such and you're still not happy.You know I would rather have play a full game before I can save and be mostly bug free,then play a bug infested game that I'll be lucky to play long enough to save.A bug infested game to ruins the fun of the game such as Madden 08.
I agree with you that I would trade in-game saves for a bug free Madden experience. Sadly, I have ZERO faith in that occuring. This year is all presentation and gimped online season play for Madden. Granted, I appreciate the presentation upgrades, but a shiny turd is still just a turd.Comment

Re: Madden NFL 09, No In-Game Saves
Several potential reasons:
1. Name recognition. I am sure there are reviewers who have that, "Oh its Madden, it must be good" attitude.
2. Many reviewers probably don't really know or care about sports games or they may be "causual" Madden gamers.
3. EA is so powerful that some gaming sites may feel intimiadated to give that good score.
4. They don't play the game long enough before reviewing the game thus not finding the bugs or gameplay issues that people in this forum will.
5. Who knows what goes on behind closed doors with gaming sites and the big and powerful EA. Is there a "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" attitude? I don't know if that is the case but one really has to wonder from time to time.Originally posted by ImTellinTimIf I lived in Waco, I would find you and kick you right in the nuts.Comment

Exactly. If more people voiced their displeasure through buying habits rather then rants, EA would be sure to make changes.Wanting a better product is fine.The problem I have is people saying how much they hate EA,but continue to buy their product.If it's crap and has been crap,don't buy it,plain and simple.I don't care if it's the last of its kind,I'm still not going to buy something I hate.Comment

Well put.
and if you are going to buy but have some reservations and want a better product, and your not 1 of those 'midnight line guys', at least pick it up used (Im sure there'll be plenty).Originally posted by Alexis de TocquevilleThe America Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.Comment
