I have been watching some players hit the soft cap this season. Once they are fully capped, it is pretty obvious. You can go 6-7 weeks of one position training (maybe longer) training one skill without a pop - and that's on a fairly young player (ie: 20-21).

I think that hitting the soft cap is a bit of a gradual process, though, whereby training slows down gradually as you approach the cap. However, once you hit the soft cap, the effect seems really dramatic.

Is age also a factor at slowing down the rates? Are there any occurrences when development begins to slow down by 24 or 26 years of age? I was wondering if there's any sense to train players before they reach their peak.

Age is definitely a factor. Training slows down every extra year that a player ages. I don't know the exact numbers, but unless a guy is already a stud, there is no point in training him once he is 24.

Please use the Help forums - generally there are threads regarding the potential caps there, but another one with a well-reasoned opening post is definitely welcome.
