Question for Adam or Mod Makers

[marksbros6]

Is there any way to edit the factors that influence when a fighter decides to retire?

I've been playing with the 'Modern Warriors' database, and guys like Couture retire 5/6 months into the game, Hendo and Chuck Liddell anywhere between 5/9 months into the game.

Personally I think this is a bit unrealistic. Couture has a few more fights left in him (or he should do, having had nearly a year off), ditto for Hendo, and Chuck himself has said in interviews that he feels he has 2 more years in him, and even more beyond that (though his injury situation might change that).

Is there any editable stat that might influence these guys to stick around for at least a year of game-time? Might knocking a couple of years of their starting ages help (unrealistic, but wouldn't mean much in the long run).

Thanks in advance.

Retirement age is based on their hidden & random Destiny statistic. Knocking years off their age would help, as the lower the age, the less likely they are to be near a retirement point.

Cheers Adam, I'm enjoying the game a lot, but after a bunch of my fave fighters retire I tend to lose a bit of interest, it'd be nice to keep them around for a bit longer.

I'll have to fire it up with the standard data as well, it looks really well thought out.
