Retiring Players
I have two separate leagues going, one with all time great teams and one with all time great players on their respective teams. How do I prevent players from retiring, being traded or any other instance where a player would move to another team? It is not intuitively obvious to me in the game.

1) Mess with Batter Aging Speed and Pitcher Aging Speed (Game Settings > Players & FaceGen, midway down on the left-hand side under Player Development Settings) to lessen the haste in which they might retire. I've never tried this, but I've heard it can work to a degree. Perhaps others will contribute more info on this... 2) Scan your league transactions at the end of each season (and/or maybe it's on Jan 1st) to see who retired, then - for any players you don't want to have retired - unretire them and place back on the intended team. Depending upon your zest for players not retiring, this not turn out to be that time-intensive of a process. Quote:
As with many of these types of things, best plan is to set up a test league and try this stuff out. Don't play out games or get involved at any micro level. Rather just set it up, and let it run a few years - maybe decades - while also trying the things mentioned above. Good luck! |

AI can still make line up changes? What happens with injuries if you can't make roster moves? YES definitely time consuming to unretire players! |

Not sure. I would test it out to be sure. Yep, it can be. However, players generally retire at two particular times on the calendar: At the beginning of the offseason (right after the World Series ends), and on January 1st. IIRC, most players retiring at the beginning of the offseason are active guys who were on teams and who have chosen to stop playing, and they will show in the transaction log as retiring from a particular team. Guys retiring on Jan 1, however, are generally free agents, some of whom haven't played in a few years, and they won't be shown as retiring from any team.. just retiring; they are basically hanging up their cleats because nobody has been interested in them for awhile. Depending upon what your goals and settings are, you can pretty much ignore the Jan 1st guys because they, generally speaking, won't be any good anyways (so from a ratings perspective, they are not worth unretiring). |
