Well here is only the 2nd person I have seen play past 44 years of age the other was Cy Young but I dont have any Screen Shots. He wasn't doing to bad until the final month hurt his Avg on the year. Does anyone else have any screen shots of players play past 44 I would like to see them.

Started in 1901 and not sure of any peaks because I have never looked I just let it go if they retire but this guy was a 70 overall at age 43 so that is probably why he kept playing.
Here's my Ironman catcher who probably coulda player till 50. I think his peak was in the 80's when he was forced out but I could be wrong.
It's cool how his playing time drops off after 40. Every time Ott made it to the playoffs, he won the World Series. Did you resume the game when you lost? Or just get lucky?
man i wish that option was available in BMO, i would have won something close to 100 series by now :pQuote:

No, I have not replayed any playoff when my team makes it they are dominate. I have had 3 of the top 5 pitchers with the highest career wins on my team and probably 4 more on the expanded list. I feel like I am cheating though because I know who to draft ;)
Was still solid with 70+ ratings so I am not sure why he retired at 45 years of age.
Everyone retires at 45, regardless of skill.Quote:

In BBM for every 1 player I see retire "early" I see several hundred hang on far, far too long.
I have posting this player on the site before, but I have no shame and he was the best pitcher I ever had, so here he is again.
Who do you draft?Quote:

You pretty much have to cheat to get numbers like that (or start the guy way too often, which usually won't work in mogul unless you've bulked his ratings).
For human controlled players? Well, when your winning 140+ games a season the pitchers can end up winning a ton of games...Quote:

Tyler Cherry, though he is entirely fictional, is the best player I have ever produced. I did not build a pitcher friendly stadium for him, nor did I pick up the best free agents every year. I have always built my teams the old fashioned way, strong defence, terriffic drafting, and prudent spending.
I swear on anything that I can, I-DID-NOT-CHEAT. In all the years I have played this game, I have never had anybody beat Cy Young's win's record, except for Cherry. I am currently playing with Roger Clemens, had him since the start of his career, and at the age of 38 he is still over 100 wins away from tying the record.
The game is fantastic, because there are so rarely players like this. And to boot, Cherry played on a team with 5 strong starters his whole career, and at no point did he start more than his share of games (33). For the first 6-7 years he was not even the staff ace.
I do not know why some players take it upon themselves to doubt the accomplishments of this aspect of the game to reduce the number of once-in-a-life-time players to actually once-in-a-life-time. I doubt I will ever see or have another player like this again, and that makes me happier, because I see that as a quality of the game, not a detractor.
Not doubting the accomplishments at all. Even without cheating it is entirely possible to build a team that wins 120-140 games a season, which tends to heavily inflate numbers, particularly human owned starting pitchers win totals.Quote:

Maybe that is how it will be in the future but who knows, all I know is that the game seems to let loose the farther into the future you get.
I was able to mitigate that by creating some of those stat settings for seasons post 2005. I t helps alot, but if you have keep making them (just save a file you like over and over again... that's the easiest way.Quote:

I have done it I have gotten a player to play past 45 years of age. Granted he is utterly useless but what do I care he is 46 now and has over 5000 strikeouts. :)
Oh my god he sucks. They almost hit .500 against him. But he can still throw a fast straight fastball...
Yea he throws fast still (Punchline) "Fast pitch in and a real fast pitch out" :)
Holy smokes... 1-60 his last 3 years. Why Nolan, why?
So I thought he might do better as a closer I was about 25% right and about 80% wrong :) but for some reason he kept on ticking but now he is done and I think the extra years hurt his HOF bid as he only got 79%
Of course IRL he was 30-25 in 90 thru 92 (13-9, 12-6, 5-9) with good ERAs for his league (3.44, 2.91, 3.72) and struck out 575 batters in 534 innings (with 215 walks).Quote:
