Tips on stopping QB from retiring too early. Brady, Palmer...

[msdm27]

Anybody got any tips on what you can do to stop star QB's from retiring too early? I've tried with the retirement package for coaches but they always retire, regardless how good a season they've had.

This is quite frustrating I must say.

Only way I know how is to edit their age before you start. Sucks but that's all I've ever found that works.

I thought you couldn't edit their age.

You can't edit age for current gen .The editor only works on last gen rosters.I think some of its tied to coaches.With Eli,it may be because Coughlin usually retires,same with Brady and fake Belichick.

What I did but don't know if it'll work yet.I created coaches for these teams and figure that may be a fix for this.Retirement packages aren't a cure all and only gives a little better odds that they don't retire but it also depends on the coach not retiring before.

Why isn't Belichick in the game? Why does it on the scheme label just say NE coach instead of Belichick?

EA acquired rights to the coaches via the NFLCA, and the hooded one isn't a member thus they don't have his rights.

I get confused about these threads. Retiring to early? It's not like they are retiring at 32 or something. You are talking about guys that are closer to 40 then 30.You shouldn't be surprised when they retire.

That's a fairly good point! I guess the question how to stop someone from retiring at all at any point. Like an option to convince them NOT to retire at least one time.

I guess Brady and Palmer's cases are noticeable because both are playing at their highest level & winning so that could/should be a modifier to entice them to keep playing.
