RetirementsRetirements in SOC will be based on retirements of players in real life. If a player retires in real life occur halfway through an SOC season, they will be allowed to see out the season in SOC before retiring.
Every step will be taken to ensure the affected manager is aware of these retirements as early as possible so they may alter any plans accordingly.
