Auto-Saving

AHHHH!!!! I hate this feature. I want to choose when i want to save. In a future patch i hope you give us an option to turn it off. There might be one already, but i cant find it. It is especially annoying when doing an online leaue, becuase very little things gets saved. Sometimes things you dont want!!!!

no one else would like to see this turned off???

I agree!!! It makes me think that the programmers think the game is unstable and thats why it auto saves all the time..

Since there is a comissioner mode it doesn't make sense that the auto saving is to prevent "cheating".

The "auto-save" IS in the game to help prevent cheating, because not every league uses the password, etc.

I have NO fear that the game is unstable I have never had a crash w/ v4 in it's present state.

You sure would be pissed off if you ran your own league.. made 3-4 trades, did all the teams lineups.. made some free agent signings, released some players... and the game crashed for some unknown reason and it didn't save...

OOTP3 would crash if the lineups were done incorrectly... I don't know if OOTP4 does this... but I was glad a couple times that OOTP3 saved for me.

Sure it slows it down... but I think it is worth it especially for commissioners.

I am not saying i would not like it in the game, i just wish there was an option to turn it off...

Just wondering...ina future patch, are you planning to give us the option to turn this feature off???

BasicGuy · 03-23-2002, 08:56 PM

Steve can't There be a option for those of us that dont play in a league to not use this feature? After a league gets to be 10 or more years It gets old fast.

Not to mention it wouldnt be hard to create a backup of the league dir. Do what you wanna do(checking what a free agent wants or whatever) and then replace the messed with version of the league with the backup version...So Its not really stoping any cheaters.
