My 33yo wasn't the one whom I meant to train but see there is no logical explanation sometimes, and he may even pop down next week which is fine. And to be frank, I couldn't get exactly what u meant by "All I will say is that you need to change your training so that you are not discovering this type of information out!!!" Can you clear that suggestion a little bit for me?

Sorry if i was jumping the gun and implying you meant to train him... let me rephrase to..... i hope you never find out any more information like this!!! stick with the 18-22yo's and see if you can help add to the known training speeds of these fellas and in turn improve your roster as efficiently as possible!

.. but I reckon around 27-28 your players start dropping relatively fast. (2-4 drops a season perhaps)


This seems a bit exagerrated. The youngest I have had a guy pop down other than stamina is 31. Not saying this is normal, but I dont think 2-4 drops per season for a 28 year old is normal either. 2 of my three over 30's had a skill drop last season, the other did not.

I was really surprised myself. I was sorely disappointed that he dropped that point less than a week after I picked him up for some depth but hopefully he'll maintain his shooting level for a while now. =)

I have had multiple players < 25y/o have a downward pop (outside of stamina). Driving (21y/o 5 to 4), handling (23 y/o 6 to 5) and rebounding (24 y/o 7 to 6). The next time I trained them, they popped back up, so there is a minimal decrease potential every week. There were no injuries or over playing in these situations that I remember.

I am positive. I remember my PG especially because he lost driving in the 4th week since I had the team, 3 seasons ago. I found it odd as I downward popped 2x in the same week (driving on the 21 y/o PG and stamina on 22 y/o C). I seem to remember being told in a BB Mail when I asked friend that there is the minor potential to lose abilities and the older you got, the greater the likelihood it would happen. And that I was unlucky. :D

I always thought it possible for any player to slip a little. But if that is not the case, I want the refund for my PG. ;)

Koz, I think he asked a friend via BB Mail, not a BB via... er, friend Mail.
