I believe there should be a system for retiring players. It should work as below.
For a player that played their last season at 33, they have a 10% chance of retiring.
34, 20%
35, 30%
36, 40%
37, 50%
38, 60%
39, 70%
40, 80%
41, 90%
42, 100%
Since most of BB's great players are below 25, this shouldn't be a big problem at all.

why they don#t retire when they got dismissed, because they can not play basketball anymore - and this would happen cause of skilldowns.

Hey, I actually like this one.... maybe the numbers would need to be tweaked, but I think it's a good idea in spirit. I think you'd need to add text like "This player has an x% chance of retiring at the end of this season." to the player page to reduce the chance that new users are taken advantage of in the transfer market.

Think about if you were the player - Would you want your career to be ended by being fired, or would you want to be able to make the decision of when you want to leave the sport on your own?
Also, in response to your statement, look at some of the players that are stars today. Do you think that their skills will trickle down to almost nothing by the time they are 40? No, of course not! They will still be good, if not great, players in the league. We'll need a retiring system to control the amount of old players playing in the BB system.

And in my opinion starting age should be 29-30 not 34, with something like 5%, so this means that 5% from current division 30 years old players will decide to end their careers.

the skilldowns becomes more worse every season, and such a system makes it to a managing and not such a random point.

Well, we could create a notice so the player could know that their player is retiring 2 weeks before the end of the season. That way, the team could make any changes that they want to before their player retires.
