NBA are likely because of the size of those save files, the new game has a save file which is 5GB so uploading and downloading that to the cloud wouldn't exactly be a fast upload after a game for most users.

Although the original Switch Minecraft isn't on the list (yet) and that save file is 2GB, not to mention MC now has servers that they're trying to sell themselves as a sort of cloud storage for the bedrock version of the game. so yeah.... MC seems like one that will likely join this list soon imo, for various reasons.

I've considered Size before. That seems more like a blanket Nintendo preventive feature. "No size files over 5 gigs". Plus why would Microsoft or NBA opt in to not allowing cloud saves over X file size?

5 Gigs over wifi seems huge. But even though my PS has an ethernet slot - I don't use it. I use it for wifi. So technically if I ever played NBA on my PS - I'd be uploading those save files on my wifi.

Considering PSN+ cloud storage is just 10GB I still wouldn't really advise using the cloud as a method of keeping onto a save file that size, esp on the ps4 where you can just as easily move the file from a console to a usb drive and save it on a PC.
