Hi, I bet there was a topic like that before, but i couldn't find one. I want to ask when a player stops developing, but not regarding his potential, but his age. I have a power-forward/center, who is 6'9" 26 years old, potential of perennial star, while having skills:
jump shot: strong
driving: respectable
inside shot: tremendous
inside defense: tremendous
rebounding: sensational
shot blocking: strong
Since I bought him, about a year ago, he hasn't shown much improvement in skills, even though I trained his position almost half of the time. Of course he got better, but not as I would expect. Do you think i should remain training him, or is he too old or reached his potential, so that i shouldn't train him anymore. Waiting for replies and help!
Thx, Victor

Yeah the older a player gets the slower he trains. For a 26yo, it's about 35% of the training speed of an 18yo. That's really slow, so you need to train about 6 weeks for a pop in a certain skills.

Here's a list of training speed for each age:

18 100,0%
19 95,0%
20 88,0%
21 78,0%
22 70,0%
23 60,0%
24 51,0%
25 42,0%
26 35,0%
27 27,0%
28 21,0%
29 16,0%
30 11,0%
31 7,0%
32 5,0%

Never read those numbers before and tbh. I am somewhat shocked the decline is that steep. Thanks for sharing!
