ManUTactician247 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 is there a way to check? Go on History then Career Stats to see if he was playing for Chelsea and I'm not sure if it's still there after he retires but there should be a button which says injuries which says his injury history.

Smurf Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Players retire for odd reasons too, not just injuries! http://betting.betfair.com/football/betfairfootball/dan-fitch/7-footballers-who-retired-at-the-peak-of-their-powers-280411.html Check out Roa, at 29 he retired because he thought the end of the world was nigh! There have been some Irish players over the years that retired early due to injuries http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Sadlier http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colm_Foley This guy http://www.examiner.com/pro-soccer-in-boston/dc-united-s-andrew-quinn-retires-joins-harvard-as-assistant-coach Paul McGrath http://www.soccer-ireland.com/irish-soccer-players/paul-mcgrath.htm Roy Keane http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/showthread/t-351505.html Anyway - players get injured a lot.

Impale Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 The key point in this instance is that Ben Arfa will be playing football by Christmas. However you want to look at it, it's a flaw in the mechanics of the game. Either he has the injury and retires straight away, or doesn't retire at all. Not that he recovers, plays half a season of rigourous Premiership footie and then bows out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Not really, only 4 that Ive seen posted so far, 2 being veteran players. The game has only been out for a weekend & I fairly sure that most players will still be in the middle of their 1st season, this is something worth keeping an eye on as we will hear about more instances if it is indeed a bug. As I posted in another thread throughout the entire FM series I have not once had a player retire due to injury so to see people posting about this often under used feature of the game is a little concerning, that being said it will have an upside of forcing AI managers to develop their youth & not stick with the real life players well into their late 30's.

Ive never seen it either. I usually only get players retiring because they cant break into the first squad. However if you think about all the players in the game and all the people playing the game only 3 have reported this happening inside their own team, one being myself. The 4th has just been noticed since he found the player as a coach. I still dont think its that big of an issue. How are we to know John Terry or Lucio wont retire at the end of the year?

He'll be 32! Unless he gets many serious injuries, that's simply not going to happen. John Terry will likely be playing until 34-35 at a minimum.

milnerpoint Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Im sure i read that Ashely Cole only has a season or two left in him before his body gives up due to injuries, maybe if he suffered a bad one in the 2st season it could push him to quit early.

townley12inch Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 unfortunately there doesnt seem to be an option to check his injuries but i would assume it was due to injury i couldnt see Terry just randomly being released he played 20 odd matches for them last season strange things do happen in this game tho..as Blackpool 1st season in Jan i was handed 26 million to spend lol and at the end of first season a line of top players were queing to sign including Tevez, Ashley young, Jordan Henderson all too expensive so i brought in Di Maria for 9 mil from real madrid this def would not happen irl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joga Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Maybe this whole retiring thing could use a own thread since, there seems to be a quite many of them. On the subject it is quite strange that so many top players are retiring, and I think this should be looked into. And what comes to that realism i think if he suffers a major injury and maybe there's a decent backup player avaible, I could live with retirement.

I'd think that retirements are relatively independent of each other, so it doesn't matter which game it occurs in.Also, there are doubtless such retirements by users that have not been seen nor reported - these are not the only isolated cases.

Robert the Spud Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Even if Terry were injured for the rest of this season IRL there's no way he'd just retire, unless he was crippled and in a wheelcahir.

Utdchamp Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 With todays medical knowledge you rarely see someone giving up after 1 injury. How many PL-players retired in the last 5 seasons due to injury? I guess we will see that those who retired due to injury went through several operations and tried their best to recover. In FM12 Owen Hargreaves would probably be dead a long time ago.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utdchamp Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 it entirely depends on the severity of the injury, both in real life and in FM Agree, but name me one "prolific" player who just gave up that easily in the PL over the last couple of seasons.

Peachy Bum Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 it entirely depends on the severity of the injury, both in real life and in FM Yes but a injury of the required severity happens once in a blue moon. I've seen Henrik Larson and Cisse(at Liverpool) have their legs totally snapped in half. So bad it made you want to puke to look at the pictures. But they had operations and were playing again in a year. Of course you get really REALLY bad breaks like David Boost(sp?) but that's very very rare Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert the Spud Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 The point is, in most instances players try to overcome their injuries(like Dean Ashton), before taking the Doc's orders to retire. They don't get a broken leg, then say 'oh well may aswell pack it in'. And they don't come back from injury halfway through a season, play on untill the end of season, then retire due to injury problems. It's a bug, pretty major one aswell.

Turneep Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Still not sure its a bug. Yeah its now 5 players mentioned. But lets not forget, thats 1 player per world over 5 football worlds all with relatively serious long term injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
