OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Game Systems: Player Aging and Retirement

one of the things with EHM that annoyed me was that players played forever it seemed like and rarely retired. The average career in the NHL is around 3-5 seasons, in EHM it was probably as high as 10.

I love the idea of some players retiring because they need to support their families and they can't do it as a hockey player in a low level league.

I would also like to see a player retires after playing in the AHL or ECHL and gets offered to play in Europe but doesn't want to leave North America or a certain country (even though he received those contact offers)

EDIT: Jeff, can you please make a new stickied thread to just have links to the "Game Systems" all in one spot. That way no one misses them. I would do it but don't think it would allow me to edit it to add the additional future ones.
