I have encountered several problems with retiring players both historical and fictional.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

1. With the game set to retire historical players historically, I have had quite a few players scheduled to retire at the end of a season, actually retiring in the middle of the season. Several players have actually retired in the middle of the play-offs.<o></o>
2. I have had several fictional players retire in the middle of a season. In one case, the player was going for the Triple Crown, which he eventually won. This particular player was only 23 years olf, with no injury problems and acutally retired twice during the season. In each case, he retired right after the end of a minor league season when the game generated free agents and retired players. In this case, I simply opened the player profile, unretired the player, assigned him back to the team on which he was playing, and updated the salary information.<o></o>
3. I have had several players retire and then remain on the active roster. Thier profiles show them as retired. So I simply moved them off the active roster in the Transaction screen by dragging their names off the bottom right of the screen. I waited until the calendar year changed in the system in the hopes that the player would be removed normally.<o></o>

I have been able to catch these events with human controlled teams; but I have no idea how many players have retired in this manner from AI teams.<o></o>
Just thought you should know.<o></o>
