with some luck involved [...] an objective random mechanism
I'm sorry but isn't this game already random enough ? Injuries, draft classes quality, game engine randomness, skill downs, etc...
And you want to add a random process so that players retire while they can still perform for many seasons ?

Sorry, what injuries? My 38 old veteran had something like 4-5 minor injuries in his whole career It doesn't even remotely compare with real world's randomness, where lots of talented players do not reach their full potential due to injuries.

I don't think age should be the cutoff for retirement. Different players retire at a different age. Some players can still contribute to the team while in their 40s, while some find that they have to call it a day in their mid 30s. I think the cutoff point should be tsp or salary related. Maybe the season after players get skill drops, should their skills drop below the level of a 5* 18 year old rookie, there will be a notification on their page saying that they will retire after that season, and that retirement can be done in off-season. This should allow teams to make proper preparation (like acquiring replacements), and plus 3 new prospects from the draft should be sufficient enough to replace these players.

My idea is that from a certain age, say +33 years, a player has a % chance of retiring the following season. That % is influenced by 3 factors:

- His role in the team
- His injury history
- His age

In this way ...



Very nice.

Let me have my oldies until I want to have them, I have a super young draftee that I want to keep him forever in my team, I don't want him to retire. He can work for the team as a bench warmer until he's 60. Then he can be ball-boy until he's 90. Who stops him from doing that? Then maybe around 90, immortality will already be discovered so he can be forever on my team. Why do we have to make things super realistic? This is not football manager, let people have their unique fun.

Also if players retired earlier we would not have fun tournaments like 'Atrocious 60's'

I prefer them not to die because I love my $ 244 salary players to fill line-ups gaps (minutes, training, etc) and I have been working on them for more than 10 years but if you make players die just for realism, I would want to be able to call academy players with similar wages for random games (realism too).

Why are my 75 year old guys making $246 a week and yours only €244?!?
Mine are definitely overpayed.

If they retire, I have to close the OMC (old men cup). Our old guys with TSP max 12 are playing on thursdays and competing for fame and stats
But yeah, the main reason for this is, we don't want to fire them. So that is the solution for a little bit.
