So eventually we'll have 40 yr olds with amazing skills?

Unlikely as their ability to train decreases by a huge amount the older they are.

Don't expect a 40 y.o. to get pops in any skills apart from Stamina and Free Throws

You don't see my point. If the oldies never have skill drops, their experience will continue to increase. So they are still getting better, even if you can't train them.

Another point - eventually we'll have an oversupply of players if they don't get old and die.

Plus it is very unrealistic. How many 40 yr olds play in the NBA? For that matter, are there many players over 31? Do they still play like they did in their prime?

I think old players probably drop skills. But I haven't had one myself yet.

I don't about this "skills dropping due to lack of game time (low form)". Can a BB confirm this?

not sure if you play BT, but in there some skills train quicker as the player ages - was this implemented in BB?

I posted a response to this thread earlier as well (regarding player ages) but quickly deleted it. Check out the dates on most of this thread... it's over two years old!

i think it could be said that a balancing "skill" for older players is experience. i get the impression that experience can help players make the most of what they have, even if what they have is a diminishing resource. one form this effect can take is to make player's performances more consistent game-to-game. i can't recall a thread discussing this, so my impressions could be incorrect.
