Old Players Dye Out Fast

Ozzie Guillen · 03-19-2005, 07:06 PM

Hello. Does anyone know how to modify the game to prevent older players' performances from deteriorating so abruptly? I'd like exceptional players such as Barry Bonds to be able to play into their laste 30's or early 40's without becoming minor league-calibre players.

Thanks,
Go White Sox!

You can turn down hitter and pitcher aging speed in Engine Setup, but it will affect all players in the league.

In v5 I don't think it is possible.

I support the right of old players to dye things out fast. The older you get, the closer you are to death, so being able to tiedye shirts faster would be a huge advantage.

I thought it was about brightly colored clothing

It makes sense though, as players age their hair gets gray. Therefore, they run out of dye faster.
