DanGLiverpool Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 14 teams were interested in him, and I had given him a contract. That confused me a lot. Is this normal for something like this to happen, is it rare, or is it a bug? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baker.simon Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Its not normal, i do believe its a bug that maybe should be posted in the bugs forum to see if anyone has had a similar experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnold_kidd Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 It happened quite a few times on my save too, mostly to players without a club (maybe they've decided to go back to college?). It's a shame because most of them are actually potential stars. Seems to happen only in the first few seasons though, there aren't that many quality free transfers after 10 seasons.

Matt SFC Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Another bug that has never been sorted by SI for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne\'o Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 iv seen players in abundance retire age 22-28 because they are out of contract for a while, its a bug for sure, yet old players age 40 still play top flight football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashOverride Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I seem to remember reading somewhere its releated to the much maligned Bojan bug. I cant quite remember how but its something to do with player and club reputations. There have been instances of Daniel Sturridge retireing rather than sign for a championship club which is just bizarre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argel Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I've logged it in the bugs forum, SI are aware that it exists. Whether they'll fix it is another matter, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argel Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 True, but there's a mass retiring at the end of each season of players that are being tracked by dozens of clubs. Just because it happens once doesn't make it the norm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsmith1989 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I've seen this happen too. I was playing as Clube Oriental de Lisboa and was in Liga Vitalis (Second tier of Portugese football) and there was a class 21 year old South African CB who didn't have a club, and with numerous clubs interested in him. I offered him a contract, and despite 'looking for a new club' he rejected me and others, to retire. I was insulted that he'd reather retire than play for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsk360 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 o my bad. i knew he had lefted...i never knew he returned On August 24, 2007 Matusiak signed a three-year contact with an option for a fourth with Dutch side SC Heerenveen. In January 2008, however, he returned to Poland, being loaned for the duration of the season to Wisła Kraków. In the summer of 2008 his contract with Heerenveen was canceled by mutual agreement. He spent the first half of the 2008-09 season pursuing interests outside of football but rejected media reports that he had retired from the sport. On December 23, 2008 he signed with Widzew Łódź. thats of wiki Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanGLiverpool Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 Francisco Duran retired after being released by Liverpool, had League 1 quality according to my scout. Sad to see them go, and a bit of a shame that their isn't an option to persuade a free agent out of retirement with a promise of a new club and promised a certain amount of games a season, which if not fulfilled, means he could leave the club on his own accord.

Argel Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I'm playing a 9 season long game and I've not seen a single young player retired yet :confused: Try adding the young players available on free transfers in 'player search' to your shortlist. Remember it's not just big names, it's youngsters who would have a future for those of us who start at lower league clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtney J Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 There was a 19 year old striker retired after a few clubs were interested in him. Also, I released my 24 year old goalkeeper after 4 seasons with me, record holder for appearances, he retired about a month after i released him....very bizzare!!!
