The responses posted here are correct. This year EA developers decided to remove the traditional manual save from the past thirty years that also comprised three deletable autosaves, and replace that with only one save file, which becomes overwritten with every significant game event; entering a match, terminating a match, manually advancing days using the Calendar tab in the menu, etc. When starting a new Manger Career mode game, I append my initial save file (last step before advancing to the first day of the career after changing the settings) with a MS, short for 'manual save', then immediately create a second save file, and append the name with an AS for 'auto save'; i.e. AFC Bournemouth AS. The last file saved will serve as the autosave and constantly become overwritten, while the other file will remain as an original backup. This method is extremely cumbersome, because as you progress from the beginning of the career mode to the start of the first match of the season, a number of changes occur. Before entering the first matchday and after every match, if all planned events occurred as you want, you must manually save both files to avoid either not being able to recover from a stopping point, or similarly, having to recreate progress from a timestamp much farther back in the career than you want. For me, I manually save both files after every transfer market acquisition, change to club tactics (adding sheets, tactics, or player instructions), or advancement of more than two weeks, due to the number of crashes. Again, whoever devised this system did not properly think through the long-term implications for removing the traditional autosave files, and inadvertently forced career mode users (customers) to pay attention when saving files; always having to saving the backup file first (MS), then the autosave one last (AS), in my case.
