Retirement of older players (374)


nl Sjoerd Hemminga >> wednesday march 13 - 22:10
Soon older players will start retiring. Players will retire between the ages of 38 and 45. A few game weeks before they retire they will announce this to you. Once a player has announced their retirement, you can no longer transfer them.


The first retirements will happen near the end of next season. There is some randomness involved, but players that are already older than 45 will retire on an expedited schedule.

This makes sense as I've seen loads of keepers that are collecting their pension and then putting their kit on!

Let's put aside the goalkeepers who come onto the field with a cane. Good news.

As somebody that has an elderly keeper collecting his pension, even I welcome this change. Thank you for making an update to the game!!

A sensible change and good to hear one being made.  It'll be painful for those who have to suddenly adapt, but that's always been part of games like this.  Guess I'm nervous about my goalies now!

This is an excellent change to the game. Even though this will cost me millions, I'm very, very glad to see it happening.

haha, my 45 year old keeper retired to the Office just this season!  Players who announce their retirement can no longer be transferred but I assume they can still become office staff correct?

Love it.

I think that more importantly, this is a game change/improvement. More changes to come?  Or is this one of one?

It's hilarious to see a 69-year-old goalkeeper playing at a high level. An old man that age has never crashed an engine
