Game won't save sometimes... Feedback please.

HippyZippy · #1 (**permalink**) 03-17-2009

So a buddy and I are playing a Fran with two teams. It's under my game tag for the save. I play with Greenbay he plays with Cowboys. So this is the issue, we will play a game with Greenbay and he will be a blocker for me. I save after each game and he holds the save.

This is the issue now, when we play him team and I'm a blocker for him after the game is over I save it under my game tag, where the fran is saved to. It won't keep the save we turn off the xbox360 and play the next night and it didn't save!

Anyone can explain to me why this is?

I've heard of similar bugs with people playing two seperate teams in a franchise.. haven't heard of a solution though..

I wish there was an update to correct these bugs.

We played one team and I kid you not I got 3 user picks on the cowboys defense and 2 back for a touchdown, and I forced 2 fumbles we picked up. He got 2 user picks for short gains.

I have never had 7 turn overs. And we should them out 42-0. Redskins.

So sad after the game finished we saved and I trained my packers and the game froze during the loading.

Does your game freeze a lot crash? No pun intended. lol

Well his name is Cash so there isnt a pun there anyway lol.

My game has frozen once so far, but I have heard complaints of it.

As far as your problem, I play a Franchise with one team with two of us on it. Once I thought it hadnt saved...But it turned out it had just saved under my friends profile. So have a go at loading it with your friends profile, you never know...I doubt it, but it may be there.

Game used to lock up when saving... We got the patch and quit using replays and doing the training (we sim the training) and that went away.

HippyZippy · #6 (**permalink**) 03-18-2009

Does simimg the training actually increase the stats as much as training would?

I can get all-madden on just about every train I do except for bench press and 40yard?

If so, does the siming actually help with those two areas?

And sorry cash, I had a brain fart when I wrote your name last.

And thanks guys for posting.

I only ever trained once you know, I practically forgot it was in the game. I may start Simming it though like you mentioned Cash.

Take it my suggestion didnt work then?

No simming doesn't raise them as much as actually doing the drills... If you can get all-pro or all madden

But.. if you do the drills and get points from all-pro and all madden all the time within a year you end up with a super team compared to the rest of the league.. weeeee... fun...

I haven't tested the save yet. We played 3 games and saved it, next time he comes over we will see if it worked.

I found out that simming was awesome for bench press. Goodness! and 40 yard dash. Now I only did pro for each but that was more points that I would have ever got!

Wait, do the drills affect overall/permanent progression Cash?

Me and my friend did them for the SB, just our respective players on D, and his TE. Start the SB, kick off, first play on D, they run a toss and I FF and we were pleased as hell. And sure enough, the game froze lol.

cashpath · #11 (**permalink**) 03-21-2009

Yes the drills are permanent progression..

titansrule · #12 (**permalink**) 03-22-2009

I had absolutely no idea about that. I wonder why the hell the drills are permanent progression, yet you can be sick during the season and see no gains. I thought it was just progression for that game for some reason...
