Player Retirement

Eventually, players will retire in OOTP. There is no preset age when this will happen but players will retire when they did historically if the Retire According To History option is selected. Retirement occurs at the end of the season. Players who have suffered career-ending injuries will always retire at the end of a season. Until then he will be on the injured list. If a player retires while he is still under contract, the remaining term of the contract is voided, and the team no longer has to pay the player.

Depending on his e mail settings, the General Manager may receive a notice when players retire. The event will be noted in both the team and league transaction logs.

Players in OOTP will not come out of retirement to return to the list of active players except for historical players who unretired real life. Commissioners can manually force players to retire or unretire.

Retired players are listed on the Retired Players page.
