Moore had reconstructive surgery on his right knee for a damaged medial collateral ligament on January 25, 2005.  Two days later, he announced his retirement from professional soccer, saying, "After numerous attempts to strengthen and stabilize my knee through rehab, it became clear that I had no alternative but to have reconstructive surgery. Considering my age and the recovery time necessary, I have decided to end my playing career."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nhsoccer.com/rev/roster/moore.htm |title=Joe-Max Moore #9 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050109004335/http://www.nhsoccer.com/rev/roster/moore.htm |archive-date=January 9, 2005 }}</ref>

In his six years in MLS, Moore scored 41 goals and added 35 assists for 111 points, the assists and points being Rev records through the 2004 season.  However, [[Taylor Twellman]] has since passed Moore on the Rev's points lists.
