Not a criticism, but rather just interested--I've always thought the way OOTP handles career-ending injuries to be rather dramatic, with a guy often knowing 4 days after he tears a labrum that he can never play again.

Though injuries regularly destroy real-life athletes' careers, I always thought it to be a gradual thing where they try to recuperate and eventually realize it's not working out for them. Has an injury (other than the rare unfortunate cases of death) ever led to a player's immediate retirement in real life?
