that's true. In reality no one drops like that midseason. In the offseason maybe, because you're old and bored of working out and training. It;s just strange

I don't think it's that unrealistic. Old players get worse, the wear and tear of the game decreases the ability of the old players.

Check the Suggestions they are important

Really? Before 33yo=0 drops, after 33yo = 2 per update(or 2 for 2 updates). Very realistic, thanks ;)

(2805113) 4 drops in more than 10 weeks and this player is with me from the start. He never had 2 drops in the same skill even in one season. So I'd guess the example posted here is one of really bad luck.

Or maybe the first original skill was 6.01.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

Or maybe the first original skill was 6.01.

Still, the drop is at least 1.01 level per week. At that rate it could mean in more than 10 levels per season in just one skill.

There are several posible explanations for this. One could be that the total amount of skill lost due to age can be distribuited among several random skills(this could be based among many variables). Sometimes among a lot of them, making it difficult to see and track and sometimes in just one skill, making it a double drop like we have seen.

Another complementary explanation is that drops are a function that involves a random component that can be pretty disgusting.

This assumption is wrong. 6.01 - e.g. 0.51= 5.5 = first level drop
5.5 - 0.51= 4,99 = second level drop.
You don't have to lose a whole level all the time to have a skill drop.

Yes but my player lost 2 levels in 1 week as I posted above.
Which means there must be at least 1.01 level drop in that week.

Actually what you posted was a guy dropping in one skill and another guy popping in another. Did you leave out some of what you meant to post or am I reading something incorrectly?

Simone Maconi ↑popped↑ in Outside Def. from sensational to tremendous .
Davide Bulzoni ↓dropped↓ in Inside Shot from marvelous to tremendous .

What I was trying to point out was that my old guy decreased from marvelous to tremendous, which is a drop of 2 levels.

Right. I see it now. So it is possible to drop at least 1.1 levels per week. My guess is that this is very rare like the double pop, but am not sure since I don't have any super old guys yet.
