When do players retire??

deckard · 01-09-2002, 08:05 PM

Just wondering when you decide when a player is going to retire?? Around what age would u say?? Does their ability effect this eg Waugh brothers.

Blewy · 01-09-2002, 08:09 PM

I have stated that any player over the age of 38 will be retired, age has no effect on ability the only effects on ability is if ur player has a bad season there career Ave will go down therefore making his less a player the following season...

Retiring Players will be released this week...

deckard · 01-09-2002, 08:10 PM

So its not random.......just when a players turns 38.

Anoop · 01-09-2002, 08:15 PM

GB, why not make it random?
Not all players retire after 38.. A.Stewart is playing very well..

Select players above 38, and randomly decide (using a program, if you wish) who will retire and who will not .

just a suggestion..

Blewy · 01-09-2002, 08:15 PM

There will be random retirements,(sriram is designing a program for this, The reason i am saying 38 is that there are quite a few players who are 38 or older and i wanted to get them out to get in the new blood, but the Retirement generator will be doing all the retirements in the future...

Anoop · 01-09-2002, 08:18 PM

wow..

are you that quick.. or was it a coincidence!

Blewy · 01-09-2002, 08:20 PM

i'd love to say im that quick but i have to admit it was all coincidence.....
:P :P :P

You probably should have let people know about the automatic retirement at 38 (which I think is good) before trading.
I have traded N.Fairbrother(39) to Tassie in return for S.Young as neither of us was aware of the rule.

Blewy · 01-09-2002, 09:02 PM

hmm ok i could probably make a special dispensation in this case, i will let u guys know...

Graham · 01-09-2002, 09:10 PM

If Paid prefers, just undo the trade and retire Fairbrother.
Mind you, as age doesn't hinder performance under VCM4 and Fairbrother has had a useful season, Paid might prefer a dispensation.
Best ask him I suppose or for you to decide what's best.

Blewy · 01-09-2002, 09:12 PM

Will do mate, ill speak to him...

Paid The Umpire · 02-09-2002, 01:44 AM

I don't know...

Maybe Fairbrother will find the fountain of YOUTH

Graham · 02-09-2002, 01:56 AM

Do I take it then Paid that you'll stick with the deal?
I need to know quickly so I can organise my side and any possible trade deals.
Cheers, Graham.

Paid The Umpire · 02-09-2002, 01:58 AM

I'm not sure...

I'll have to chat to Blewwy about it....
