Retired Numbers In The Future

[HarlemYankee]

I'm surprised stuff like this never gets brought up. It seems to me like it would be a simple switch that tends to get overlooked all of the time, but I may be wrong.

It seems strange, at least to me, that when someone retires from your team after a long time, you don't at least have the option of retiring that person's number. If I played a franchise in year's past, it always irked me to see someone wearing #2 on the Yankees after Jeter retired, or someone wearing #10 on the Braves after Chipper retired. It just felt like something that could easily be prevented.

I remember NBA Live '02 or '03 used to give you the option to retire anyone's number once they retired from your team, but haven't seen that feature anywhere else since. Is this just something that gets overlooked by every game because they don't think about it? Or is it something that they literally can't program into years in the future?

I see it now....

In my franchise year 10.....Yankees have retired numbers 00-99.

I mean that could definitely be a problem if you start retiring everyone's number (especially for the Yanks), but I guess I'm alone on this... It really bothers me. I don't know why!

Use the player edit feature and police yourself

I agree it would be pretty cool and a somewhat simple feature. it would be cool if they had a little simple celebration before a game too

You're absolutely right, it's an easy manual fix, but if there are retired numbers in the game, then I figured maybe adding it wouldn't be too hard on the dev side. I've just never seen it mentioned so maybe it was never brought up.

Plus, it gives the franchise mode a little variation... If one of your players has a great career, it would just be a nice little touch to have him pop up on some sort of retired numbers screen with all of his stats and accolades and whatnot.

I would like to see the implementation of fundamental details such as the tracking of career stolen bases before getting to the detail level of retiring numbers.

Ha - Baby steps...

I'm holding my breath hoping that they finally added a level of stat tracking that NBA 2K has this year... Plus an achievements page on each player card and an all-time top 10 (or 20) list for each category. Of course, my idea was just something to piggy back on this once it happens.
