A couple of my room mates has started to get into worms on the 360. the only problem is that there are 6 of us and you can only have a max of 4 custom teams. We would all rather have our own teams with custom names.

I would like to suggest that the next patch changes the limit the custom teams and hopefully allows for teams to be transfered to a memory card.

They said it was a space issue but I played Band of Bugs recently and it allows creation of many 64KB save games and levels, so MS doesn't seem to be limiting arcade game save space anymore. Team17 could allow hundreds of customs teams if they really wanted to write the code.

originally the space limit you are thinking of was for the initial download. They set that number for anyone with a core system so that they could have 1 arcade game on that memory card (50 mb). They recently increased the size for the newer cards (250mb). I don't think that limit applys to files created by the game or DLC. As of now Worms and worms DLC on my drive is around 80 mb.

One of the others will know more, but I don't think we can easily amend due to altering the size of the profile... (Ian?)

I don't think it's related to the original 50 MB limit. It seems like the teams are saved to your GamerTag profile along with settings. Microsoft probably imposes a separate limit to how much a single game can amend to that file. My profile file is around 4 MB now, while my brother's, who has played far fewer games, is around 1 MB.

I would much rather they save as separate files to circumvent this (maybe as an option in a second update, please?). The 4 custom team limit is really bad when all the AI presets use a single soundbank, because of the limited amount in the base game. Aside from my own team, I can only have 3 AIs using new soundbanks. Having to regularly edit or recreate teams for variety is annoying.

I wasn't referring to the 50MB limit, one of the team posted that they couldn't allow more than 4 custom teams due to save space limits but it is probably because they save to the profile and not separate save games.

See Lebowski's response to the above thread. Wormetti is correct in that this is because the teams and schemes are saved directly to the Gamer Profile and not to a seperate save - this was something where we were limited by size and this meant that 4 custom teams was the most we could allow. As such this is not something that can be easily changed.

I'm sure Lebowski will happily explain this in more detail when he returns from his holiday (even Teamsters need a break occasionally :))
