Ok I want to give my piece of mind on this subject

In my experience players never want to retire, idk if they are trying to live out their glory days and it's one of my biggest pet peeves with this game, I had at least ~300 players who were active and over the age of 37, around 2/3 of these guys, or 200 of them were in a "cycle" between MLB and Triple A, 50 of them had a steady starting/bench job, and around 50 were in double A or below. My belief is that these 37 year old "cyclers" and double A players should be retiring, but nope they greatly "extend" their 14 year careers for around 4 years toiling in the minors just to cycle into the majors for 6 games just to get waived and DFA'd.

This also happens in free agency to where guys will stick there for 4 years before retiring but having no job instead of a chance, it pissed me off

So my solution to this was to speed up the decline by setting it forward for both to around 1.150-1.200 depending, this usually lets played flame out around 33-34 and them toil until they are 36 as a journeyman, then retire.

It makes me happier but not satisfied as I feel like players who are over the age of 37 and go 1 full year without playing a MLB should be automatically retired by the game.
