GG IoanBlood, your teams are always a challenge to play against. You shut down my running game like nobody has all season, yet we still managed to win. Best of luck in free agency/draft.

But if Decicco gets forced into retirement, I will have a big pile of dead cap right when I have a load of draft picks. So it might be meant to be tough on the veterans, but it's tough on people trying to catch up too.

Very belated gg Kebabmaster, your defense was a menace and it should've been a blowout in your favor.

Chasing up confirmation if that's behaviour or not.

I doubt it is for one reason; aging players end of / start of season is a simple task ; you're simply adding 1 to the age of each player in the league, a one-off task.

If it's as smirt claims, then the logic becomes :-

For each sim game week post week 15
for each team in league
check if team has players in retirement range
randomly sneaky age them

Then the single end of season / start of season general aging task becomes :-

For each player in league
if player not already sneakily advanced in age
age player

Run retirement script

Had word back from the boss man.

Retirements are decided upon in the end of season stage based on the age and position.

So (my words) it doesn't work as smirt claims.

Retirement % usually kicks in at 10 yrs plus, so no imminent risk for you in Decicco retiring? You've a minimum of 2 seasons to plan for him to retire.

Managing cap and draft picks is part of the game.
