Pakz	5 gb for 1 save? That must be a typo.

Dabz	I've just spied their saving code... And here it is:- 10 REM Save The World Routine 20 REM Copyright (C) 2017 Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc 30 OPENOUT "NBA2K18.sav" 40 FOR n=0 TO 5242879 50 PRINT#9,CHR$(PEEK(n)); 60 NEXT 70 CLOSEOUT --v Easy as that! Seriously though, if the game does required all that for a save, I bet writing the save and load routines was a pretty epic affair!

Jayenkai	Kinda ironic, though, that a badly coded random generator that creates nothing but garbage for a nonsensical save file is STILL over 1000 times smaller than whatever the hell they've saved! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

GfK	Surely all you've got to save in a game like that is a few statistics? I can't even think of any game where 5GB per save file would be justfied.

Dan	Maybe it is so, that a savefile can hold maximal 5gb. - because replay-data are saved with that savefile too ?? who knows lol

Dabz	Another way to look at it is times that by 75 and you have all the data collected by Cassini and that thing has been switched on for 20 years nearly! Dabz -=-=- Intel Core i5 6400 2.7GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (8GB), 8Gig DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD, Windows 10 64bit

cyangames	Imagine the loading and saving times for that...... -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!
