Young Superstar retires

eh` · 12-30-2018, 01:46 PM

Playing a standard game in the NHL, commissioner mode on.

Second offseason of the save (2020), Brady Tkachuk has retired at age 20(!)

Obviously not a major bug but thought I would post it anyways. Didn't happen the previous offseason with any other young stars but I doubt this is an intentional feature.

Yeah, that's very unusual - is there anything like a career-ending injury in his history, or another news story mentioning him around the time of his retirement? There are a few rare storylines that can cause a guy to retire unexpectedly around that age, but you'll get more details than just a retirement message if that happens.

He had a minor injury the previous season and this is the first time he's been in the news.

What's very strange is that he didn't play a single game in the 19/20 season, despite being healthy the entire year. For some reason the Ottawa AI didn't dress him for a single regular season game.

Definitely nothing that'd normally put him on a path to an early retirement, then. Could you upload the save? I'd like to see if we can figure out exactly why he did that.
