players should retire....

what's the oldest player you have in your league?

cewoodss · 08-28-2013, 12:40 PM

under League Setup/Roster Rules I have max age set to 42. but in milestone watch I have players up to age 48 sitting waiting to play, they will not get on a team at that age, why wont any of them retire.

if the community doesn't mind, may I just have responses from OOTP professionals and not the pure sim baseball rejects, id appreciate that.

No.

You posted in the general forum.

You get to read ******ed posts here from other users as well as from yourself.

Markus and Co. don't respond to this forum.

Nobody knows your problem. Sorry.

Not a good way to ask for help, as you can see. VG has it right; this is an open forum and you need to sort through some junk sometimes to get the help you need.

And mpejkrm has some validity but is not entirely accurate in that the "OOTP professionals," what he terms "Markus and Co.," rarely reply directly in the forums to questions (and don't get your hopes up over PM'ing them, either). It's not that they don't want to, I think; it's a matter of the volume of requests and their limited time. However, you do see them being quite proactive here, for a short while, just after the release of new versions and patches.

As to your question. I assume you have your age limit set in Rules, Roster Rules, not Options, Player Options, Created Players Age. If so, see what the manual says below. You don't say when you set your age limit, so if you just did so, the mass retirement that you expect may not take place until the offseason.

Let's leave it at that for now, until you can come back with more details.

How long have the 48 yr olds been Free Agents? 1 season, 3 seasons? Sometimes players don't want to retire. Manually retire them if need be.

Did you change your Aging Speed settings so that players stick around longer?

I'm not an OOTP Professional, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.

1. Still, the maximum roster age should cut them off in the flower of their youth, regardless.
2. Ha! Good one.

I would guess that there's nothing built into whatever triggers players' retirement that takes maximum roster ages into account. After all, you could have multiple leagues with different maximum ages, or no limit at all.

You may be right. I have never set a maximum age for any league that's not a HS or college feeder league.
