Can u explain your definition of ' capped' because a starter potential with mediocre across the board is not even soft capped by my calculations.
*edit*

sorry just re-read your post - he started with mediocre. end product was as you stated
10/5/13/10/10/10 - 9/9/5/5 - its not as balanced as you think - see below.

So this puts him just past what is commonly referred to as the 'soft-cap'. he has a potential calculation score of 16.28, which the range for a Starter potential is 16-18
So the fact that you are experiencing such slow training at this stage, isn't even hard cap slow down, its soft cap slow down. And yer it confuses me as to why players hit this training slow down, however there are examples out there which contradict it entirely.

He is a good example though, where - he is a SG/PG, but with only mediocre JR. This is the elastic effect in play i feel. Also the OD skews things as well. Not so sure about secondaries like Rb and SB.

Just a little noob Question:

How would one know if his player has reached maximun potential?

Check in buzzermanager.com

It's probably less than half

So I assume that when people in this thread say a pop in 9 weeks, the player already had some sublevel before start training.
Maybe closer to 1 pop each season for 27yo capped players, and one third of the normal speed.

Does one third sound as a better guess?

Unless the player popped in that skill, received training in it continuously the next 9 weeks and popped again, I'd be wary of counting that as the 'true' training time. He could have received some sublevel from cross-training in any previous week. Plus, of course, there's the elastic effect as well, that can throw the times off.
