Jason24 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I've never seen this before; I started a new game as Milan, at the end of the first season, Maldini retired and I was asked if I wanted to retire his shirt number- I did. This is the first time I've ever seen this (don't know where it was in previous saves) it's an absolutely fantastic addition to the game imo. Has anyone else seen this?

JoeCFC Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Nor did I Joe, never seen it before-don't know how to post a screenshot IV. How do I Post a Screenshot?1. Ensure that any version of Football Manager is open 2. Go to the screen you want to show 3. Press 'Prt Sc', normally next to or near F12 on your keyboard 4. Open Paint, or a similar program 5. Paste the image by either pressing 'Ctrl + V' or going to edit, then paste. 6. Save the file as a JPEG 7. Upload the image to an image hosting site, such as PhotoBucket or ImageShack 8. Post the Direct URL onto this site Or 1. Ensure that any version of Football Manager after Football Manager 2008 is open 2. Go to the screen you want to show 3. Press Alt+F9 4. A screenshot of what you want will be saved in My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager __\Screenshots 5. Upload the image to an image hosting site, such as PhotoBucket or ImageShack 6. Post the Direct URL onto this site And I think quite a few German clubs have retired the No. 12 shirt for fans, pretty sure Werder Bremen have.

vojnic Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I think it could be possible that this is something that's exquisite to Maldini. He's probably the biggest legend tied to one club in the database, so SI might have honored him by giving you the option to retire his shirt number Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason24 Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 Yes, he did play a lot. It's the first save i've played on a new computer, so i had to download 9.03 patch again, is there any chance it could have been updated sometime to include this, because i've played many times as Milan before and never seen this? bit of a mystery really, but a nice feature hopefully for FM10, maybe someone from S.I will see this and explain. wonder if it will work on other players later in the game?

george777 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 is it possible for this to happen with someone who you have made into a legend at a club? for example, if you sign someone in the first year, and 10 or whatever years later he is a legend and finally retires, has anyone been able to retire his number? would be nice to know that you could but i guess if you change numbers throughout a career it loses meaning.

sydfc4ever Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 i remember SI talking about this as a new feature of FM09, retiring shirt numbers. So, yeah, I'd guess it would also happen for regens. I don't think it's common, you wouldn't want to have every player who'd done 10 years or so at your club having their shirt number retired, by 2100 you'd be down to using fractions for numbers, ala Blurnsball!

Management Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I had Barry at AV until he retired in 2019 meaning he spent his whole professional career with the club... I never loaned him out when he got older and he ended up with 636 appearances & scored 91 goals. He is now my Assistant Manager and he's not even on the Favoured personnel list Yet Martin O'niell is on the Icons List... he was only at Villa for 2-3 seasons max...

If I was Man Utd manager, I'd retire Giggs', but I don't think it's in Fergie's nature. I don't know about retiring numbers. There would be nowhere near as much history in the United NO.7 if it had just been retired after Best. And once you've left all the '68 players shirts in rotation, to retire it for Giggs just feels a little weird, legend though he is. I'd rather they stuck another great player in it and let it build a mythology to rival the No. 7 - it's like a minute of applause for the dead, instead of a minute's silence, it's just more in the spirit of football. I like that the feature's included in FM though. It's a nice touch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryMills Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I want to be able to retire any player's number, perhaps with board agreement (if he's had an incredible career), but the option to do so for regens for example doesnt seem to exist, I hope it will in the new game-it's a lovely feature to have. Also, if a player's number has been retired by a club prior to the start of the game- like Baresi at Milan for example the game does not tell you who the shirt has been retired for, just that the number 6 has been retired-it would be nice if this was changed too imo.

RBKalle Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I didn't know it was possible retiring a shirt number in FM09... at least not during the game.

Abs_UK Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 This is fantastic, i just hope its only for legends of the game, if every player starts getting it because he has been at a club for 10+ numbers we will end up goint into triple shirt numbers.

T3hB3n... Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 This should be implemented into FM10 really well, so that regens and such can have it. Eg; if you get a regen and he becomes a legend at the club, when he retires you can retire his shirt number, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
