So, what happens when...

This bot team has 22 players. I think I counted 6 of them retiring at the end of the season (makes sense when 2 of them are 37, 2 are 36, 1 is 35 etc.). That puts the bot team at 16 players, and if I recall correctly, a team needs to have at least 18 players. Are new players generated when the retiring ones retire, or are players on a bot team simply not allowed to retire? The age of some of the players may suggest the latter. Anyone know?

I'm looking forward to putting a 50 year old on the national team some years from now, have the bot team move down to Div.V and become human, which would put the 50 year old on the market as he is a national team player. He may be worth 4.3 billion based on his vast experience.

Interesting, I'd like to know the answer to that too...........do bot players never retire until taken over by a human? As for the "vast experience".........that caps at 5*'s so no worries there

I would guess that new players are generated.

But interesting scenario that we'll have to keep an eye on to know for sure what happens.

I didn't do full research on it, but, checking around, found that the Austrian Invaders (Currently 1st place in North American Division IV.18) have a 63 year old Wide Receiver. Now THAT is some longevity!

They don't retire if they're on a bot team. Some of the oldest players in the game are on bot teams and National Teams.

This is my old team now a bot team some of the players are still on NTs and are still planning on retiring at the end of the season (they won't though).

Only way these players will be removed from the game is if the bot team is taken over by a new team.

I don't think there is an oldest player category in the record book post, but this is the Dutch entry at 72 years old:

Willem Prins

I don't think you'll find an older player, since Willem was already 32 years old in season 1

72? Oh gawd.

Though Kwakzalvers is at least a great team name.

Won every game of my first season in S40, promoted up to level 4 for North America and promptly lost first game of S41 to a team with six, yes, six players aged 70 or more.....I am just really really glad they didn't have same aged cheerleaders https://www.grid-iron.org/club/team_id/385

Brilliant. Sounds like most of that team will have tested positive for Sanatogen.

It's almost worth hanging around another 25 seasons to see if anyone makes it to 100.
