Well, we are not talking about career ending injuries. We all know that BB isn't exactly simulating every aspects as it happen in basketball. It's more like creating equal opportunities to managers. I'm totally good with the fact that according to fate, you should see more unlucky drops on some players than others, but I do believe the span here is way too large

I don't see this as a good point. Otherwise we should expect also to see career ending injuries like Brandon Roy, just in early 20' because "happens in real life"

seem to be experiencing some brutal skill drops in recent weeks. 33yo SG JS 20->16 in two weeks the lowlight. (bizarrely he popped in OS this week)

anyone else noticing anything?


I had similar case this season...
former Spanish PF (34y old), dropped from 18 to 14 IS in 3 trainings, despite having career extension coach... and like you said, he had bizzare pop in JR (outside shot)...

skill drops are very annoying... you need 10-12 seasons to train NT player, and when he turns 33, few unlucky weeks, and he's no more an NT caliber player...

It's very disenchanting I have to say.

I'm noticing that the first drop is usually a double drop, anyone else noticed the same pattern?

It happened to me several times, sometimes it's two single drops in two weeks. The most brutal was 4 drops in two weeks and I had to sell him for cheap because his skill was already way below his current salary.

I noticed this since I got my career extension trainer, that indeed the first drop when a player turns 33 is a double drop. I didn't track it precisely, but it's been about 5 out of 5 so far, today another case.

I'm aware that it's random and that it can lead to outliers with bad luck, but it's starting to look like a pattern. Others have noticed too (260943.1)

Maybe it's worth looking into by the BB's?
