Fighter retires early?

crawdad5000 · 06-20-2015, 12:25 AM

First, here are my settings for auto-age:
pre-prime 5 to 7
prime 10 to 15
post-prime 20 to 25
end 10 to 20
retired 10 to 20

so I'm set up for a fighter having anywhere from 55 to 87 fights in a career. Everything was going along smoothly until Jack Johnson retired at 53 fights. (45-7-1). I have notification on and during a tournament it said he reached "end", which is fine for my parameters, but after the tourney he switched to retired. In the columns I have set up it shows his era as "retired" and his career as "end". Is this right? No one should reach retired until at least their 55th fight I think.

Just had another fighter, Fred Russell, retire before 55 fights. He had 51. Same thing, era shows retired but career shows end. So does end mean the same as retired even though the auto aging has separate ratings for both?

did you set the auto aging prior to everyone's first fight? if you changed it at all they would still retire where they were going to originally? is this with 2013 or 2.5?

I had a lot of fighters set to beginning but changed all of a sudden to post prime.

I'm using 2013. I set auto aging at the start of the universe with the settings from above. The year was 1898. I'm in 1904 now. HW's only. In 1903 a few fighters went to end and also retired.
Bob Fitzsimmons 41-10-0 c.st 1883 c.end 1909
Peter Jackson 44-11-1 c.st 1882 c.end 1899
Jack Johnson 45-7-1 c.st 1894 c.end 1938
Fred Russell 35-13-2 c.st 1898 c.end 1908
Tom Sharkey 42-13-0 c.st 1893 c.end 1904
John L. Sullivan 44-11-1 c.st 1879 c.end 1892

As you can see. some fighters were passed their original retirement year while others were not. Some reached 55 fights for end status while others did not. No one reached 65 fights for retirement according to my settings. I don't think the career end has anything to do with it but I could be wrong. Just confused now because the game isn't matching my parameters for all fighters.

Mistake on last post: It's 45 fights for end and 55 fights for retirement. They reached 45 for end status but most didn't reach 55 for retirement. They all went to end and retirement at the same time. None of them fought any fights under "end" status. They just retired.

Could career stage adj have something to do with it? It's on for all fighters except when they reach post prime. It turns off automatically when a fighter reaches that stage.

I've had a few fighters reach END and immediately retire. It's random. Some guys reach END stage before others do. I generally retire boxers after they've been at Post-Prime a while and are losing more than winning.

I wish I had set up the aging properly at the beginning of my TGPiS uni. I just go through all the fighters at the end of each year and decide whether they should move to the next career stage or not.
