Maddeon '07 Franchise Mode about Player Retirements?

Question

I am in the offseason with my team on Franchise Mode. The very first step in the schedule during the offseason is player retirements.

Is there anyway I can prevent a player from retiring from my team? Such as offering him more money or something like that? If not what is the purpose of the Player Retirement screen?

I have noticed sometimes when you advance through player retiremens it says certain players recieved new roles. What does that mean? How can I do that?

Any help is much appreciated.

I AM USING A PS2 CONSOLE.

I have had Madden for a long time! I have tried but never successfully did anything to keep retired players. I am in my 5th or 6th year. Manning is retiring and I wish he wasn't, so I was desperate and wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

Thanks

Answer 1

Not that I know of. I always do my franchises with the Packers and after the first year I use that to find out whether or not Brett is coming back. It's just a screen that lets you see which players are retiring and which are coming back.

Answer 2

you can't stop them from retiring. It just informs you who's hangin it up. Roles are based on performance, among other things. Man, you just got Madden or something?
