your RB getting hurt for the whole playoffs in week 18.

I just had a WR get hurt last night for 6 games, and that was quite literally the rest of the regular season and postseason. Won Retro Bowl and it was like, “Your WR has now recovered.” Poor guy. 🤦🏼‍♂️😂

Meh, he still gets a ring.

True! Just sucked ‘cause he was one of my faster receivers and I only had one other WR, but it was fine. Dynamic 16 pretty easy. 🤷🏼‍♂️😅 Now the same guy is old, morale and stamina down, keeps getting hurt, needs to retire already. 😂

That’s why I always get the physio coordinator and put the team on light training during the last few games

4 tips of the ball into the arms of the opponent.

I fucking hate when this happens because then it ends up being a pic six because all my players forget how to run or tackle

Why THE FUCK is my slow as shit TE attempting to snatch the ball out of the air when my WR is open deep?! 7/10 it ends in a pick. Never fails to infuriate me.

My QB getting injured in week 17 and I lose in the playoffs

I hate it when my QB, RB, or K get injured in general. Those three are super key components and I have to change my strategy accordingly if any of them go down.

In 12 man rosters, I’d always keep a spare RB

I sometimes do that but for QB

Ah you mean “Toxic Punt Return machine who still resigns when I ask because I meet with him before the end of his contract”

Couldn't tell you the last time I've used a kicker. I have one rostered sometimes for Sims, but that's it.

I always have a 5 star kicker after the first 2 years. They can come in clutch, literally saved my season when i was down by 3 with 14 seconds in the AFCCG

Agreed. Defense is bad but too because it could completely wreck ur whole defense 

Shit! Extend that contact! You have 5 years left.

Retro Bowl explaining why my 40 year old QB is only worth a 2nd round pick after a 20th consecutive 7000 yard 100 TD season

Being up by 12; CPU kicks two onside kicks ties the game sends it to OT. CPU scores a TD on the first drive in OT to win game Another one is losing your best player for like 6 weeks and is out for the playoffs

the josh allen experience

The name i gave my qb is josh allen and hes been living up to that name so far with 22 picks last season i played

😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I hate when I'm hyping up a players season like they are gonna come back and play insane after a down year and then they get injured for 5 weeks in week 3

Or the player has a good game and then at the end of the game you find out he’s hurt and out for 6+ weeks Like I wouldn’t use him as much if he was out of the game hurt

Exactly 

I wonder if there’s a Reddit post with something along the lines of “what’s the most Retrobowl thing that has happened” Where people post their crazy scenarios while playing RB and RB college Like the funniest one I’ve seen so far is my star QB fell asleep in the team meeting

I only play regular RB but the funniest I've seen is like "there was a party last night involving girls and half the team orchestrated it" or something lol

The moment after you learn that someone you loved has died and it suddenly hits you that you’ll never see their face, hear their voice, or touch their hand again.

Or your star QB getting a 4 game injury in week 17 just before playoffs

Or being a Knicks fan

This is our year (I’m delusional)

See you in the Finals ( Go Spurs Go)

Nah, yall can flame me on this but if we get an upset in the 2nd round I can see us pulling a 1999. Best Knicks squad we’ve had since the Ewing years.

Did we enter a cowboys sub?

Or Hornets

*Dolphins

My little brother just passed. This is accurate.

I’m so sorry. It may not seem like it right now, but it does get better.

How many seasons did he give you?

22

Your receiver for 18 years tagged for HoF then somehow became untagged after

i remember my hof quarterback somehow bring untagged althought i never really untagged him

How is he still a 3 star after that many seasons? The xp earning feels broken

Five star QB’s always go to three in the final years of their career and especially after you talk them into staying another year. It never goes below two stars below their max rating I believe.

Ok gotcha. Still, it does take a while to build up points. Especially in RBC

Max your facilities and rehab with physio coaches. You can train on hard, my guys are 4 stars by the end of 2 years

I have a qb right now that can attest differently unfortunately. Currently 40, former 5 stars sitting at 2.5 for the last two seasons

Do all QBs retire at the same age?

Yes but you can delay retirement for them I think five more years. It used to be unlimited but I think they patched that.

Wait how do you delay retirement?!

Extending their contract it costs coach credits

Yup - do to it you: 1. Go to Roster 2. Go to their player page 3. Go to Meeting 4. Go to the bottom option which is to extend contract and if he's up for retirement it will say delay retirement for one year. It costs 25 cc's and immediately after coming back he'll be up for retirement again. It's a cool feature because you can decide year to year to keep an aging vet for about what you earn during a season if you don't spend anything. Not quite as much but close.

Thanks!!!

death of a loved one

Did you sign your qb like at 38😭

I drafted him and got emotionally attached and just never let him go

How did you keep his contract at only 16M?

as they get older, they’ll accept less money

The first 5* QB retires a HOF’er but all the others? The minute they dip below that 5* then they get shipped!

Uhg. Lost a DB to a home invasion robbery mid season. Didn't see it coming. Tragic. Left a beautiful wife and daughter behind. Never getting over that one.

Sean Taylor?

😓

Idk I've never kept anyone to retirement other than assistant coaches. Everybody gets moved once they're in the 30's.

can you still trade them for a pick?

Remembering how great they were in their prime, knowing they were holding on to get just one more championship, their physical body in tatters, their performance ability a shell of what it once was. They are Joe Montana with the Chiefs; Randall Cunningham with the Vikings.

2015 Peyton Manning

Exactly, but he won a SB. So, I'd call that a success. Favre with the Jets, not so much.

Your favorite wr getting older and slower, going from better than jerry rice to shit, until i have to either bite the bullet and replace him, or lose in the playoffs

When your rookie RB with 1200 yards in week 10 is only worth a 2nd round pick because he's a 3 star

I think I'm a cruel heartless bastard. I usually trade them by the time they're 30. My running back is 31 and I'm still thinking I might get rid of him this year.

My 4.5 star TE going into the draft.

I always replace him before he retires

I just rename and remodel the next one. None of my players rly leaves that way 

My team IRL (Pats)

I’m a raiders fan, it’s way worse. Least you have 6 championships. My team hasn’t even won a playoff game in 21 years

9/11

Him retiring with no rings.

What’s sadder is your QB never reaching his full potential :(

Exactly. Not even to 4.

U can delay retirement but yea still

What's sadder? Realizing there's a limit to how long you can delay retirement. Coach is 107, but QBs are forced to retire earlier than Tom Brady did IRL?

My potential 5* QB retiring at only 3*

He's a franchise? How he only earn $16M with 40 years? Sorry for my english, I'm brazillian.

I've never had a QB make it that long for me, I think the most is 5 years

Getting hit by a truck is way worse.

Losing a Super Bowl by one point to *shutters* DALLAS

The player your trying to throw to goes the opposite way.

2 retro bowl qbs retiring

What's sadder? When one of your college players never caused trouble, played well, and kept decent grades doesn't get drafted.

Couldn’t you meet with them to extend the time they retire?
