Topic: How many blocks do Madden 2003/04 and All Star Baseball 2003/04 take?

Really appreciate if any of you can help.

Madden takes up a whole stack of memory (depending on how many modes you save) and you may need a 251 just for it. I don't have exact numbers because 1 I don't own the game and 2 most review sites just bag the large amount of memory required, instead of giving any details.

ASB 2003 is quoted as a minimum 151 blocks for a season save, and ASB 2004 requires a minimum of 240 blocks.

So... You pretty much need to buy a 251 just for ASB. That's scary on many levels. Mainly level three. Elevator Action rocked.

I went over to DVDEmpire.com to check the details (they usually list how many blocks game data uses and/or you can view an image of the back of the box)...

All Star Baseball 2003: 59 or 251 (I guess it depends on what mode you are saving)
All Star Baseball 2004: 221
Madden 2003: 59
Madden 2004:  185

251 is mandatory when speaking about sports games.  My Madden 2004 takes 136 blocks.  Thats just for Franchise mode.  I believe to play ASB in owner mode, its all 251.

Thats a 60 - 70 dollar investment just on a cube sports game ouch.

madden 2004 takes up 185 blocks to save your franchise. you've also got 27 blocks for the EA Sports Bio (which is a great addition) 2 blocks for each user profile, and 3 blocks to save custom settings.

EA sprots needs a good swift kick in the nuts for not making thier games more memory friendly. The numbers are just plain ludicrous and IMO could be made much smaller with a little effort.

[Flames_of_chaos]

Exactly its abysmal like Eidos needed a kick in the balls for making a Hitman 2 Save 59 blocks. Anyways remember the PSX N64 Era where sports games took mere blocks and such why doesnt programmers  somehow find a way to use smaller block useage.

One of many reasons I don't play sports games.

[Pikkcuber]

Yeah i love sports games and i pay  up the ying-yang for mem cards. I have my memory card 59 for animal crossing, then i have one memory card 251 for all non-sports game and then i have 1 251 for sports games so i can only play one sports game at a time.  It stinks but i dont feel like buying another 251, i cant seem to figure out how to hit on ASB anyway.
