Retiring players

Hi there,

I just completed my 1st year in Dynasty mode and I can't understand how come so many players are retiring. I have about 40 players, some only 24, 25 and 26 years old. Is there anything I can do to prevent this. If this keeps up, I won't have any veterans (30 years and up) left after 3 or 4 seasons.

Thanks,

Sammysb

retiring because of age is random based off of certain percentages for age.

If a player is pissed all season he is more likely to retire for personal reasons

Anyone else have any idea if you can edit what qualifies for retiring? I have one of my top 3 prospects suddenly retire after the 2004 season... it makes no sense to me. I even quit out of my Dynasty, and loaded it up again several times - and each time, he retires! I can't have him retire... there is 0% chance he would actually retire, and being one of my prime prospects, I want him around! Can you bring guys out of retirement? ...ugh :banghead:

I've made sure everyone on my team has contracts extending beyond the present year but I don't know if that'll help because my Dynasty isn't over yet. What I might do is save the dynasty before it ends as a different name and then if anyone retires that I don't want to retire maybe I can go to the alternate saved dynasty and try playing with the settings and see if he still retires. Give him a couple of million to stay on or something. Has anyone tried anything like that?

Yeah, that's what I did (had two saves), and tried several means of keeping him, and none worked until I used the mvp2k4-editor (from this site) and changed his scouting report level from 3 to 5 - and gave him a raise. A raise alone did not do the trick, I guess making him an uber-prospect made him think twice about retiring at 20.

To the previous question - nope, no emails about this kid, and he had a great AA season. The reason was "personal".

By the way, this new format ruined my avatar! ;) Now I can't have a pseudo-transparent background with the alternating colors :?
