    Re: Madden NFL 09, No In-Game Saves

    I have three children and a wife as well.

    I'm not happy about accelerated clock not being in the game, but if I played without in games saves last year, I can do the same this year. Granted, I also understand folks who were used to it last gen and won't have it this gen.

    I can only hold out hope the game has minimal or no bugs.

      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.
      You could have played Madden for 8 hours last year and realized the terrible bugs and issues with the game. There were that many and they were that obvious.

        I am disappointed in EA big time, I know the bugs and gltiches are very important, and online leagues are very important to probably a majority, just upset that I was mislead, and for a franchise player with not all the time in the world to play, this would be a great feature. That is the future that keeps me coming back for MLB 2k8. As long as I can finish a game in an hour I will be happy.

          Bugs and glitches are important and online leagues are nice, but I bet that less people will use them than you would think. Regardless, given EA's previous track record, neither of these things will be right anyway.

          The online season will probably suck and online play will probably be terrible as in the past. The same bugs and glitches that were in the game last year will probably still be there.

          I swear if the game doesn't ship with the same fumble issue and simmed CPU INTs issue, I'll be shocked.

              Right! with such useful and pertinent additions like; holographic training, and stadium exteriors how dare we complain that something useful and not very new isnt included in our $60, been coming out for 20 years, game.

                It's not like they haven't had this feature before.

                  Its not the end of the world as some people may think. 2K8 basketball also don't have in-game save, I don't see the outrage there.

                    Oh its not that big of a deal to me. Personally it doesn't matter as I usually make sure I have the time to play a full game, but I understand people's frustration. The series is moving at a snails pace. 4 years in a feature like this should be in the game. Especially since it was in the game last generation.

                      I could care less about Chain gangs, and refs on the field, but in game saves are huge for me. There is no, and I mean no excuse for Madden in the year 2008 to not have something as basic as in-game saves.
                      YES!

                      I mean WTF? Why can't we get in game saves???

                        I think the outrage can partly be blamed on EA, but then part of it is out of their hands. The part that is out of their hands is that Madden is always going to be targeted, fairly or unfairly, because it's a big name. But besides that I do believe EA had posted in-game saves as one of the official additions to this year's game (though I would need to check again to see), and then at the event last week some sites posted that in-game saves did make it into the game -- now that could be a press failure/miscommunication, or EA said so. As Steve said in the original preview, EA didn't have the in-game saves in the build on-hand and didn't confirm one way or the other....But the belief that they would be in had to come from somewhere, so either one or both sides (EA and the press -- and I include OS in the press portion) slipped up somewhere.
                        I won't ask for Christmas or birthday gifts if you subscribe to the Operation Sports Newsletter (Not Just Another Roster Update). I write it, and it hits your inbox every Friday morning (for freeeeeee). We also have an official OS Discord you can now join.

                            I know this news upsets a lot of people, but the swearing, bypassing the language filter needs to stop. If you can't discuss this maturely then infractions, or trips to the cell will be handed out.

                              Nope, why would you expect to have a 5 year old useful feature in your game?

                                I assume you are talking to me. My bad. I was just really.......ummmmm, I'll go with irritated.

                                Truthfully, I've never read the policy on posting on here and what you can/can't say.

                                Sorry.
