Some ultra rare death would be alright with me, but I definitely could see how some folks would be put off.

So I can start a season in the year 2080 and just unretire Babe Ruth and have him bat clean-up? Not realistic

Every time an owner dies his son takes over with the same name.

I killed my owner once...he was too stingy with money, had to go.

It's rare, but it happens. It even happens to really good players, like Lou Gehrig, Ross Youngs, Addie Joss, Ed Delahanty, Roberto Clemente - all Hall-of-Famers whose careers were cut short by death - not to mention high-caliber players who died mid-season, like Ray Chapman, Lyman Bostock, Thurman Munson, and Darryl Kile. It's simply unrealistic to ignore death as one among many ways that ball players leave the game.

Skills deteriorate, so no you couldn't. Well, you could, but he'd suck.

Maybe its time to create a seniors league..age qualification would be 50 to 75 then they would be forced to retire and move up to the old timers league...age qualification 76 to 99...and then to the B.A.B.L.(barely alive baseball league) ages 100 to 120.....and then......the O.L.S.L (On life support League ) for all players on life support machines.

Fans of 2017, meet your 1900-1920 all stars!

I had a historic game I'd started in the late 60's in OOTP 13, and by 2017 I was about ready to start a new one as this one had gotten kinda tired due a bunch of nobody's on Cleveland's team turned into mega-superstars and the league got all wonky ... just on a lark, I unretired a few guys and suited them up... Cy Young, Christy Mathewson, Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth and Cap Anson (!!).. I set them up in the lineup, froze the rotation and rosters, and played out the season. The 100+ year old pitchers didn't fare too well with the total lack of speed and control (even though Matty actually won 2 games!), but the batters.... Cap only hit .120, but he hit 5 doubles as a 130 year old.. Ty stole 5 bases, and the Babe hit 6 homers! Heck, Ty was 'player of the week' in the AL a couple times even! At the end of the season, I officially retired them all - and the fans had a fit that Ruth retired! Shouda traded him to the Red Sox or something to really set them off.

May it stay like this. I am hoping that, by playing OOTPB non-stop for days, months, years at a time, I will finally achieve Tron-like nirvana by being sucked into the game, thereby attaining immortality in virtual reality.

You don't have to have guys die while still active (though, as a one-in-a-million event, it wouldn't be so bad).
does the game even check for a "coach" tag yet? in previous versions i have had upwards of 5 or more of the same former player becoming a coach.

I have no idea what flags of this nature are used, though I'm pretty sure there are ones for the various statuses which prevent particular transactions. I have no idea how hard it would be to set up a flag such as I mentioned. For your purpose, the better use would be a table storing the player IDs for those made into coaches, and the game has to check the table for a duplicate before making a coach out of a particular retired player.

Though I am not a programmer.

The real life transactions have players going from retired to deceased on their death dates. Not sure if that means anything, maybe just makes it a news item or something? I haven't gotten to the point of simming yet with the real life transactions, so I'm not sure how it plays out. But death dates are definitely in there.

Man, that's a tough question.

It should have been a poll.

According to OOTP itself, OOTP MLB play (modern and historical) outnumbers OOTP fictional play three to one.

Five thousand thanks for a non-modder? I never thought I'd see the day. Thank you for your support.

If its about how tasteful having people "die" would be, I'd suggest just having them labled as "Left the Buisness" at an age around 70-80 with a reasonable margin of errors. This would be a step beyond simply retiring, because they'd still be gone for good.

I would love to see them die and Marcus just has to do something about it as it's hurting the experience. There are other alternatives to death.

I hate seeing age 120 so remove the age and change to "Born 120 years ago" ... or even "[pro] debuted 100 years ago" at that point their age is irrelevant.

In the end, the fans like realism, and I vote for the Grim Reaper in ootp.

Maybe a simple standard as everyone dies and is removed from the game at 95 years old? Let's just not make it 70 or 75 please. I just hit 50 myself so I'm getting sensitive about these things.

Is it possible for older players to move to a Field of Dreams in say Iowa?

Yeah but I dont see that as the games fault. It would really unrealistic for you or anyone to unretire Ruth that age. Though of course thats a persons own choice but I dont think agame should be called unrealistic if we are the ones that are causing it to be unrealistic.
