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.

Regarding your first post: 5 gigs for an NBA save file eh? I don't really pay attention to the individual sizes in my library, but that seems large. Gonna have a look when I get a chance. Curious now. Also.....And I could be wrong on this. I notice things then half forget. There's always the possibility it was a dream too....But I think each PS system has it's own cloud storage space. I've played quite a few games, backup everything, and have yet to run out of space on the PS3, Vita, or PS4, which is why I find a 5gb save file size so surprising.
