Yes, I'm frustrated too about many things with the game right now...

Not only that if you look at his YPC from last season to this one, he got hit with the dreaded serious injury to RB, half the production rate results from it BS which inflicts nearly every top shelf running back.

Training camp would have destroyed that 92/92 speed, unfortunately. :( It does ****, though!

The design of the game is to be lenient towards players so this doesn't happen to you elite players . Injuries are friendly and don't make you retire early .

If you compared it to real life some of the best have made it past age 30. Barry Sanders , bo jackson, Jim brown , earl Campbell ,and so on .

You just got the rare bad roll, but it does happen. I think I can remember once in along time I had a cb retire real early .

Yea y’all right it just sucks, he was so huge in our offensive schemes, with legendary games and runs. Would’ve been great to see him reach 10k rushing yards and retired the best RB :/.

10k yards isn't really a ton for a HB in this game in most leagues. A HB that I had finished his career with over 21k yards. https://mfn31.myfootballnow.com/player/3442

He most likely would’ve surpassed that, but 10k just that mark for all elite RB to be at or above. And he deff had 3-5 more thousand yard seasons in him but we’ll never know now :/

unless you could talk a player out of retirement then maybe you could know what he could do.

also it would be nice if you could give reasons to talking players out of retirement

like
get your 1st super bowl ring
to get the rushing record
to have a winning record for the 1st time in your career
make the playoffs for the 1st time in your career
where you think your 1 player way from winning and he is that player
ETC.


btw you cant do this as it stands now but it would be nice to do something like this at some point

Yeah, it sucks. The problem is right around year 8 HBs in this game start losing speed pretty quickly.
