You had mentioned that players would sometimes come out of retirement. Is there a way to set it up that 50% of the time, Favre comes out of retirement during training camp, and 50% of the time, you just don't hear about him? No idea if this fits into the game code, but it's one way to handle the situation...

Hey Josh, with all of this drama around Brett Favre coming back, I started to wonder what the situation would be like with us starting in the offseason. Would Favre just retire at the start of the game or is it just kind of random with old players retiring? Obviously you wouldn't have customized Favre's situation but, is there a possibility of a player with a certain personality type doing something like this? Also, is there any sort of interaction with retiring players to persuade them to come back, etc.?

I don't expect that you do(and that's fine with me) as it's kind of an extreme, but I was just curious if it would be possible to bring Favre back for the 2008 season in HC even though in reality Favre were to take the $25 million bribe or whatever other situation.

Sorry if similar questions have already been asked as I haven't read through all of the Q&A threads.

EDIT: And now I see that ahunter says that you mentioned somewhere that players to do come out of retirement, lol.

Josh states that it usually happens within the same year. He also states that retired players can come back as coaches. Very cool.

Yes, players come out of retirement but the first offseason if you choose to start there. Since I can't update the offseason rosters, Favre is NOT in the offseason rosters.

I will add him back in for the preseason roster update.

Question is...do I make him the starter in the new depth charts?

I would say no. The Packers coaches and brass have all stated, quite unequivocally, that Rodgers is the starting QB. McCarthy and Murphy have also said that Favre would only be doing individual workouts in camp. I know reports are suggesting that there will be on open QB competition, but I don't buy it. I'm guessing that is simply to possibly slow Favre from turning the team against Rodgers and the management. The only way Favre sees the field in a Packers jersey is if Rodgers is so abysmal that he makes the Cheeseheads long for the days of Lynn Dickey or if Rodgers breaks. Just my $.02, of course.

I say yeah as they are saying through the media that it's an open battle for starting QB, and I mean, is Rodgers going to beat Favre?

[bsb13]

I say yes as well.
