I have a former italian NT player that actually still is still quite well rounded ... but he had a triple-down last friday (or the one before that). It was "just" Driving but still. My starting PF in the team also had a double down in ID that week. That's really not nice especially since we know how long it takes to give a player those 2-3 ups ... And I've heard of other managers with triple-downs in Germany as well. Kind of feels strange since it didn't happen that fast before, at least it seems like the downs have accelerated ...
I don't think downs increased in speed
In my cases, it hurts because it happened on the main skills and in the first real year of downs happening.
Yes, but that has happened a lot in the last few seasons. I also had older players before and it might be that I got lucky. But also in the NT of Germany we had the same issues. In the first 2-3 weeks, at least two drops in main skills (especially in defense) ... I know it's just a subjective feeling but still ...
