Players start on the team that they began with in 1960 thru 1969 years for our initial season. These players will have their career progressed using unpredictable progression and using stat change.
Progressions/Regressions/Stat Change/Retirement
Players will progress until age 29 and begin to regress at the age of 31. Stat change will be available for 2 players each season. If you don't use them you will lose them. No banking of stat changes not used. You will need to send me those changes.
Retire
Players will remain on your team until you trade them, drop them. trade them, or they retire. Mandatory retire age will be 40, regardless of ranking.
