Say you start aged 40... and play up to 2070... Do you ever die of old age?

What a random question!

Death does not ever happen to anyone in FM.

retired_sherpick

well thats just silly. they make all this fuss about "realism" and don't put in a huge part of life. Meh.

Players get removed from the game so if it makes you feel better, you can assume they're dead.


Why would you want to die yourself? Instead of dying, why not just quit the game after you reach 90 and you can pretend to yourself that you've died.

No. It just doesn't happen.

There's no need to incorporate death. All AI players and managers retire at some point. The only person killing the realism is you by playing on to a ridiculous age.

I would, however, prefer to see boardroom members also retiring because as things stand, the likes of Malcolm Glazer stay in the game at a crazy age.

It's perfectly realistic - just look at Sir Robby Bobson

For added realism I'd like to see my players occasionally recording dodgy songs.

I had an obscure memory error in 2038 which could only be (bizzarely) solved by retiring the current manager (who 'died' aged 64).

His 'son', Nick Hamill Jr. is still going strong, and is now 57.

I don't think it was an intended feature of the game though.

retired_mekeesha

I dunno - sounds like Sir Bob again
