wow, that is a very nice player...better than my 22 y.o.

he should be trainable at least through the middle-end of age 23


Maybe, maybe not. If there are sub-levels on potential and he has a very low p. allstar sub-level, he may indeed be capped.

Although I agree that two weeks of training does not mean much.

Doesnt it take on average 2 weeks for a 22 year old to pop in od anyway single position? I think hed know for sure if he single pos trained for one more week to be sure.


I've had an uncapped 21-22 year old 6'1 guard take 3 weeks to pop in OD on single position. 2 weeks without a pop is by no means unusual.

2 Weeks training in OD and no pop isn't that unusual. It depends on your trainerlevel too. Especially when you train OD for four weeks, that doesn't say that your guy pops every two weeks in OD, depends with which sublevel your guy started these four weeks of training in OD but still a nice player.

Which kind of gets at the crucial methodological question of this really interesting study (not adding anything new here): it's really hard to tell whether a player is capped versus what's due to a slowing of training due to age

If the age slow-down was a known-variable, maybe something more substantive could be said about how to pick-out capped players.

Right, and with that comes the definition of "capped": since it's a soft cap, this means that when a player is close to the cap, training slows down progressively. So the question is when exactly do we count the player as "capped".

Everybody says its a soft cap because everybody says its a soft cap. I would like to read a precise description of what soft cap means to managers who experienced it. (-> diary)
3 weeks for OD is - if not happening at every skill-up - totally normal depending on age, height, trainer level.

soft cap doesnt necessarily mean training slows down progressively, it's just not an absolute cap where you can't train beyond that. For example, the NBA team salary allowed is a soft cap, it's a precise number over which it is more difficult to spend.
