A couple of questions (Franchise mode)

[mhorkai]

1. Are players regenerated into rookies after they retire ?

2. Is there a way to tell if a player is injured from the roster screen ?

Thank you

I'm not sure about you question but I too have a franchise mode question b4 I purchase and wanted to place it here as not to make another franchise topic.

I saw online where You franchise is basically just for 1 season? As in you cant keep the same team year after year and have to re-hire the team every year.. is this true?

Also I saw where the game dosen't hold stats of previous years of your franchise. Like id love to see how My team compares year after year. Is this in the game? or is it reset every year..

I hope so or hope they will be added , if not it isn't really franchise mode and more like just a season mode.

Rookies show up in the offseason when old players retire. They aren't specifically marked, but you can tell by their age (19-22 usually) and the fact that they are new of course.

You can see injured players when you click "Play Game" on the screen where you set your lineups. You can just click the back button if you don't want to play the game then. I don't think you can see injuries in any other menu.

Franchise mode has unlimited seasons (supposedly); I went through 10 (simulating games) so far.

Career stats are not tracked yet but the devs said that is planned for a future update.

Thank you, but has anyone noticed if the SAME players reappear as rookies in the future after they retire ?

Thanks for the info. unlimited seasons is nice, cant wait for stat tracking to be added so we can see how we do from season to season.

I am pretty sure that once a player retires they are gone for good. I never saw any return personally and since it is confirmed that career statistics are coming at some point, I can't see how you could ever have the same player come back in that case.

No, sometimes a player will resign (due to scandal or wanting a higher salary, the chances of which increase with age) and appear in the Free Agent list, but a retired player is replaced with a new random rookie.

Great, that's what I was hoping to hear. Thank you for the replies !!

Also, you can see if a player is injured from the Roster / Sign & Release view, you just need to mouse over them and check their Fitness stat (on the player view, below Mojo).

Thank you again !! I didn't even notice that.
