    Hey guys,
    As far as I remeber, the retired numbers could be used in Franchise mode through certain methods, but it doesn’t seem to work anymore.
    Has anyone found a way to assign retired numbers to players in Franchise?

    Thanks!

    Not the last couple years. They made it where even making a player with the same name would not allow the number to be used. Example: create Sandy Koufax and he cannot wear 32 now.

    @fubar2k7_PSN Interesting... The most recent method I’ve found is that if you export a created player from the roster editor before entering Franchise mode, the game assigns them a retired number. For example, if you create Randy Johnson, he might initially be given 52 or 53, but once you export him, he’ll be assigned 51.
    The problem, though, is that once you start a Franchise with that roster, the number reverts back to 52 or 53.

    Would be nice if you rebrand the whole team that I can use the numbers.

    Rebranding doesn't work; I had a Mets franchise rebranded to Brooklyn Kings, and could not use 14, 41, 37, 17 and all the rest of the retired ones.

    Retired numbers on a rebranded team seems ridiculous; I wish rebranding would eliminate this (or simply an option to use retired numbers or not).

    Like the Nationals assign the Expos retired numbers. Totally agree.

    That will certainly hem in options for anyone looking to use the Yankees!

    It's really unfortunate that there's no longer a way to do it.

    Start your franchise with CPU Control on and then you'll have the export feature available. Just go through the process as if you're going to export the player, you dont even have to complete the entire process, and the number will revert to the number you want. Just have to turn on CPU roster control when you start your franchise

    Much appreciated. It worked! Did it work in old versions as well?
