Suggestion for retired drivers
Hi guys, I once said that I was really sad about Lewis Hamilton retiring in my current My Team Career save. However, there is a suggestion that might fix this issue. After a driver retired from F1,...

My personal idea would that they be available in the market but there would initially be a randomized 1 to 3 season resting period (they'd be present but unsignable) to simulate the retirement.
It's a shame the game doesn't have more of a contract system, because there could be the potential for having to try and tempt the driver out of retirement with contract terms.
- @s00zster So you're saying that they take a break from F1 for 1 to 3 seasons and then make a comeback, similar to Fernando Alonso?
That sounds good too. But with the current contract system, I think my method would be easier to integrate.Not really, they'd stay in the market but be greyed out and you could code a basic random 1 to 3 season timer, so when a season ticks over that would trigger the driver to become available again. Could allow other teams to sign them too, but there would be a good amount of time after they appear to allow you to sign them first. If you don't happen to be following them (I haven't played MyTeam for ages so I can't remember if there's a Shortlist feature, if not there should be) then it's a surprise when after 1 to 3 seasons, they suddenly come back with another team.
Or there could be a chance they could still never come back at all. They need to go deeper with this stuff, code in ages - the older the driver is, the more likely they're not going to come back if they retire. But sadly, I can't see that happening. The game is unfortunately pretty basic, just enough to scratch an itch and nothing more. It leaves you wanting more but can't provide it.
