You can unlock the retirement package for your coach at certain positions. While it doesn't give you 100% chance they'll be back for an extra year, it still gives you better odds.

Save your franchise before advancing from season to off season. That's typically when they retire. Buy the retirement trait and try your luck. Seems to be a bit random so a few reloads maybe required

You actually need to save before the final game of the season for whichever player you want to keep. So if you know your missing the playoffs save before you play/sim your last game, if in the playoffs save before each game. Then as stated you may need to re-load your franchise and keep going to the offseason until they stick around(obviously need the coach trait to convince them not to retire. With brady I know its about 50-50 he retires after 1st year but by doing what I mentioned I was able to keep him. Hoping I can keep him a second time for one last superbowl run.

Honestly EA needs to fix this going forward. They have several players retiring way too young and those retirement packages don't help at all. What really blows my mind is several of these players like Brady, Eli, Romo, Peterson have already said they plan on playing for several seasons more. And yet they almost always retire one season or at the most two seasons into franchise mode.

And for those saying younger guys don't retire that is not true. I won back to back SBs in a new Falcons franchise and Matt Ryan retired at 32 on me. THIRTY TWO and he retires. This guy would have at least four to six more seasons in him in real life.

They need to also fix the teams that trade away or release the young qb's... I'm in yr 3 of my cfm and teams like raiders, jags,skins who all have young qb's have replaced them with rookie qb's...and out of the 32 teams there's only 11 with qb's who are starting for teams this yr.

Only big names left are brees, luck, Wilson, Rodgers, Newton, Stafford, Ryan's, flacco.

So that's 8 qb's out of the 32 starting now so they saying in 2 yrs half leagues starting qb's are gonna retire and some even left in second season which means some of them will leave next yr and I haven't heard anything like that from any qb's in real NFL.

yea that is my biggest problem I see year in year out. The young backups that are being groomed for the retirements of brady and manning and others are all released or traded year 1.

This worked for Madden 15 so you might want to try it for 16 too...


Before advancing to offseason, select the player you don't want to retire as a player/franchise. Then advance to offseason and ignore the "retire player" prompt until week 1 of the preseason, retire the franchise player then and a message will come up saying "X player has mysteriously returned to the game".

Any confirmation on this for '16?
