Solution!!! to prevent players from retiring.

[ESB32CrowBonez]

Ok follow instructions carefully;
Well u know how steve nash and jason kidd usually retires after the first season of the association. I found the solution to this problem.

Step 1.
After doing whatever you wanted to do with your association. Simulate to the end of the schedule so that their is atleast 2 DAYS left before the season ends.

Step 2.
Waive the player who is retiring. For example steve nash

Step 3
Change the user controlled team to any other team by going to the general manager menu and select resign positon.

Step 4
Go the free agents and sign steve nash to a day 10 contract. When u get to contract settings . Go to years and by default you should see 1. Ok move the left stick to the left and it should say 10 day. Press start to accept and select the CPU adjust roster option.

Step 5
Change back to your team you were using intially. Then start the playoffs you can play or sim it. After you finished doing everything in your off season. Start the next season and look for nash or whoever on the roster where you had sign him to a 10 day contract.

Step 6
Trade for that player and enjoy your association

Repeat these steps if you want to be able to play with the players who are going to retire. I cant promise you it will work 4 years in a row.

NOTE: Make sure during the 10 day contract step that the particular player is given the starter role.

You must REALLY love Steve Nash and/or Jason Kidd to go through that much trouble to keep them around longer...

Re: SOLUTION!!! to prevent Players from RETIRING

So, they don't retire, but you can't use them in the playoffs? Not really a viable solution.

Re: Solution!!! to prevent players from retiring.

not really i just thought of kobe not being around much longer so i thought of doin a lakers association. So i try to find a way of keeping nash to stick around longer for at least one more year. So i can keep my association realistic.

Quite tru. It just to keep the association tied to real life. So next yr when nash hopefully decides to retire. You can just use nash for the playoffs. I guess we cant win all the time.

Re: Solution!!! to prevent players from retiring.

You don't hafta do all of that if you haven't started your Association yet. Before you start, turn the trade deadline off. At the end of the year, when the Finals have been completed, just trade for Nash and Kidd and then trade them right back to their teams. (you'll need to adjust salaries to make the trades go thru) Just make sure that you don't hit advance at the Finals screen, because if it goes into the offseason, it's too late.
