in the same week and both players playing in the same position... actually this position got ruined in just one night....

Your two players became somewhat less useful, no doubt there. Ruined is however a strong word. The guys can still play, but perhaps you need to think about replacing one of them if you wish to maintain your performance or even improve it. The drops happen in one update, but it is a weekly update and a week amounts to almost 10% of the duration of a whole season. I don't think this is unreasonable.

ok kinda overdramatic the "ruined" stuff... but anyways... just wanted to point something here that a double drop down seems unreal...and kinda buggy... anyways... I leave it up to you (as a GM) or even a BB if he thinks its worth to check it and tell his opinion...

thanks everyone for your answers though :)

You get 0 drops in skills (ST excluded) before players turn 33. I think it's ok to decline a bit more rapidly. Some weeks you have drop(s), some week you don't. Perhaps, the higher the skill is compared to other skills, the faster it could drop. We would not want the NT players, still be great and usable as a starter in top leagues at 45 now do we?

you kinda exaggerate in two points. First of all both players' skill was not that higher compared to other skills.
And secondly we are talking about 33 and 34 years old and not 45. If you get a double drop down at the age of 33 in one week , how much would it drop at the end of the season? or next season? In that way , all players at the age of 35-36 should be 5-6-7 skills.

Perhaps the skills werent that high. But it seemed to me that you just have some jump shooters on your team (looking at their salary). Were they atleast the highest skills?
The drop is not 2 straight levels, like said before. It's more like, something above one level and they are not dropping every week.
I'll use an example of one half decent sg. 133 skill points (not counting in exp,st,ft), everything at skill level 7 would be 70 point. So in order to reach that, he has to drop 63 points. If he drops one skill every 2 weeks, he needs 126 weeks. That's 9 seasons!!!

I am sorry to say that but you are waaaaaayyyyy mistaken...

If he drops one skill every 2 weeks, he needs 126 weeks


and once again you say the story of your life I am afraid. first of all he dropped 2 skills in one week (and not the opposite that you mentioned) and one other question , the drop is a random? I mean how does it work? just it think "oh crap what should I drop this week? let it be the IS and the OD next week"

If you have a solid explanation about this issue would love to hear it, but please its the second post you make and still exaggerate...

p.s. just if you are curious , you may send me a bb-mail and I will send you my player's skills :)

I don't need your player skills. I've had a few 33 year old players myself. They are not dropping every week.
You bought your players in season 17. How many skill drops have they had since then? One of them just turned 33 this, so he started dropping this season. How many drops total?

I am playing this game for about 8 seasons and I have never seen something like this before. And if you take into consideration the training delays and etc , the first thing I can think of is a bug.
So after today's training update. (I will put some extra info in case I can help the developers)

12/2/2011 Pressure for PG
Yiorgos Farakopoulos ↑popped↑ in Outside Def. from tremendous to wondrous .
Ladislav Cuchral ↓dropped↓ in Jump Shot from marvelous to tremendous .
Samuele Conte ↓dropped↓ in Jump Shot from tremendous to prolific .

The first guy is the player I am training and finally got his pop up (maybe irrelevant)
The other two guys had a DOUBLE POP DOWN!
More irrelevant informations are that thes players both played as SFs this week (and all the weeks before that)
And about their age , yes they are 33 and 34 , and its normal their skills to decline , but double pop down? that means in a few weeks they will go to 1! Seriously could need some feedback from a BB or something
(additional information I am happy to offer if asked )


i don't think it's a bug, but it totally sucks. it's completely normal to see drops at older players, and with a low level and high sublevel, etc, you know the rest.

On the same notion has everyone tried trainer with Career extension to prevent these kind of pop downs, for how long it may be effective to extend career of the player with let's say level 6 trainer?
