I think they call it "design". Just like this company, which is all about that ... how was it called ... Orange? Cherry?

I totaly agree with current design.

An old player is to face a major drop of skills. [This must be added also for injured players]
Three drops is not much, comparing to the normal total of skills a player usually have at that age, and comparing to real life skill drop by age.

A player owning that type of player is taking that risk on his own.

i never say make it slower, i just say make the decline constant. So the older player will decline with the same speed then before.

I've verified how many 30+ players you have, and found out you have 6 of those out of 13 palyers in your roster.
This is a fact.
What does it proves? I'll let other to understand for their own.

Not all players are being trained as fast as others and the same is true the other way around. Different players are getting worse with different speeds, and that speed is not constant.

ok that say i like to plan more then to gamble ;) is that what it means? So i am egoistic to post that. I would say, i prefer this even when i had tons of 20 yo. But those double skill downs, was more like an urban lengend before don't know why now so many get reported(maybe since skilled player now reach the needed age?).
But it definately not means, that my old player should decline lslower in fact most of my player will decline slower with the current system, and in average i wouldn't gain anything.

Also when you have so much player who are older, random get more fairer so it would be ok to me even when i like to state that none of my player can get skill downs ;)

I like randomness in skilldowns. But I think there should be a limit in both skill increase and skill decrease. This could be easily accomplished: just limit the effect of training to 1.0 (e.g. 8.5 to 9.5) so there will be no more double pops and do the same with skilldowns: max. skilldown is 1.0, so no more double or triple downs.

I've taken a look at your roster in order of understanding your claim here.

I've found out that you posses SIX players that are 30+ YO (from a 12 players roster).

I've found out that you have a single player at your roster (which is one of the most minor player at your roster) that is 18-21 YO (where the real training can make TWO pops or more as you described).
And that single player had not been one that you had trained from draft time, but one that had been just recently purchased.

Now let each user think for himself why you wrote what you just did.

[Oh, and I've found another thing that I realy did not like, and will open another suggestion thread for it]

4 of these 6 players are players I have since day one of their career, I trained them and I will keep them forever as long as there is no option to retire them in a way in which I don't have to fire them. They even make my life more difficult because they're no longer good enough to play in div. II and cost me a lot of money. So your suspicion is quite far off. So I should be glad to see some tiple downs on them because it would make them cheaper more quickly.

Triple downs in 33 year old players will only lead to selling these players before they turn 33 and make them cheap and worthless.

If there is randomness in skill drops, then it would be nice if they had randomness in skill pops as well :D

An old player is to face a major drop of skills. [This must be added also for injured players]

Career threatening injuries would be fun. Buy a superstar and suddenly he gets hit by a flagrant foul in a game and he becomes deformed and has to end his career XD

I believe that there is randomness at that, although I don't remember multiple pops at the same skill for a single player.
Maybe that is what you've meant...

It sucks for the buyer, but that is real life.
Exactly like having a great free throw shooter that will miss a tie (or a winning) free-throw shot at the final second.
These are all part of the of a BB manager life.
