Is it true that you can't save during a race? Did Papyrus think they'd
gotten too soft on gamers in N3? I have a life, maybe two or three, and I
sure don't have time to toil at the wheel for three or four hours at a time.

Then you can always do shorter races...
Seriously, do we need the same debate EACH time Papyrus released their
NASCAR game without a save-game feature? It's been what, 5times now?

Five times now? Hmmm...N3 has save a save race feature so why the hell
not N4? Yes, we are going to have this dispute everytime if you insist
on being arrogant about what other people wish for in a racing sim.
Let them be heard. They have a bonafide issue.
No. It's all a matter of demand vs offer. They bought N4, then after they
whine about the save game feature. Well fellows, if you need so much the
save game, WHY did you buy N4. The developper choose to not have one, it's
their decision.

First.. N3 DID have a save game feature out of the box
Second.. there is no game that is going to be perfect for anyone as it is.
That would be impossible.. everyone has different tastes. If someone buys a
game and they think it should have something, it is their right to express
their concern or "wish list" to this group and to the company that made the
game. How do you think they learn what the public wants?
You have a car Frank? Is EVERYTHING in that car Exactly like you would want
your dream car? Perfect color? If you designed your own dash is it exactly
like it is in your car? If you could have any stereo system in the world,
would you pick the one that came with your car? Of course there is
something you would rather have different. So why did you buy it Frank?

Anyhow, are you suggesting we shouldn't complain about things we don't
like in sims? Fat chance... ;)

Well ya I wrote "IIRC" because I wasn't sure.
So then it's 4times on 5 (N1,N2,NR99.N4) that people whine about it. The
debate is pointless because Papyrus knows everything about a save game, it's
fully their decision. Don't buy it then whine it's not there, you should
had known.
My truck is perfect for my needs. I don't need anything more. I go from
point A to point B. Everything else is irrelevant.

Some people do nothing wrong.
The problem is, they do nothing.
And THAT is wrong.

The only thing I did not like about saving a race in N3 was that when you
went back to the race you could easily blow your engine since it would rev
up really high until it figured out what was going on.
Personally, I did use the save feature in N3. Especially during
championships. Sure.. people say "run shorter races", but that does not
help anything if you are running a race and all of a sudden your wife needs
you or your son starts crying and you can not finish the race that night.
I am not complaining either way.. but if I had my choice of it being there
or not being there, I would choose to have it available
