How to retire a jersey number BEFORE starting a game?

As (I hope) you can see, this thread is not about getting a player's number retired five (for instance) years into a game.

I'm thinking about starting a game with the Habs, and I'd like for #19 and #23 to be retired as well.

Going into my extra_config file to fix that, I found this:

Code: Select all

"RETIRE_JERSEY_NUMBER" "Serge" "Savard" "Montreal Canadiens" 18 18 11 2006
"RETIRE_JERSEY_NUMBER" "Ken" "Dryden" "Montreal Canadiens" 29 29 1 2007
Both 18 and 29 are thus retired at the start of the new game.

But when trying to add...

Code: Select all

"RETIRE_JERSEY_NUMBER" "Larry" "Robinson" "Montreal Canadiens" 19 19 11 2006
"RETIRE_JERSEY_NUMBER" "Bob" "Gaine" "Montreal Canadiens" 23 23 11 2006
...but it's not working.

(Yes, I know Bob's last name doesn't have a Y at the end right there, but if it had one, the number wouldn't be retired until Bob Gainey retires in the game).

I've also tried adding fake players, like retired Finn Antti Aaltonen, and put this in the config:

Code: Select all

"RETIREMENT" "Antti" "Aaltonen" "Montreal Canadiens" 1 9 2006
"RETIRE_JERSEY_NUMBER" "Antti" "Aaltonen" "Montreal Canadiens" 19
...but that didn't to the trick, either.


Any input?
