MillwallLion08 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Just read another thread about 'does the game have an age limit for the manager', and it got me wondering, has anyone seen a player retire through injury at a young age. I've seen players retire for no reason at about 21, but is it included on the game (forced retirement)? If not, would you like to see it introduced?

dafuge Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 It has certainly been in previous versions, but I haven't seen it happen for a long time. I also wonder if it is still there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DP Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I've only seen it with young players who have been released, not through injury. But then the longest injury period I've seen is only 7-8 months. Players should be able to be out injured for over a year like Eduardo, Rosicky, Hargreaves - but it doesn't happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekman Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I dont think its included now because of the potential legal problems it might cause. Imagine the sinario if someone like Rooney had a career threatening injury in the game? I think that SI would be getting a letter or two from Rooneys solicitors because of this. I do remember it being in the game when it was still called Championship Manager though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman. Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 i had javier saviola retire in his mid 20's through a recurring knee problem on cm 4. would be nice in a realistic way to see it in the game sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leto2626 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 You wouldn't like it if that happened to most promising youngster you paid all your transfer budget for, it's still a game and needs to be fun Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman. Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 i know that pal, but its also a game that prides itself on depth and realism.. if it happened, then thats just football isnt it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavenagh Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 It is still in the game. Do a search for Kerlon. Chances are he'll have retired due to injuries. I dont think its included now because of the potential legal problems it might cause. Imagine the sinario if someone like Rooney had a career threatening injury in the game? I think that SI would be getting a letter or two from Rooneys solicitors because of this. I do remember it being in the game when it was still called Championship Manager though. There's absolutely nothing that could be sued for if a player retires due to injury in the game. No defamation of character, no slander or libel.

DarkArcAngel Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Chill everyone. What i wanna say is this feature is still in the game, albeit on a very rare occurence chance. Happened to me once in a few FMs back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
