No, it wasn't turned off. I was playing the game, exited by closing the game, then went back into the game and the resume game option wasn't there. Attached a screen shot as requested.
I've just completed a season and was two games into my 2nd season (played the community shield and first epl game) I closed the game and when I returned, the option to resume the game was not there. When I select 'Load Game', there is nothing there to select.
