Don't worry, you can keep a good player also over 30 years old. This is mine: (678712), you can't see the skills but you can see how he plays ;)

I am curious to know who is the oldest guy so far in the BB world?

I myself also am not afraid to field my seniors and I feel I can use them at least till 33. But maybe more; I will surely try to test it..

yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the "present."

Grats! :)
I plan to buy 2 older guys today too
They've a lot of experience and should play for 2 or 3 seasons aswell :)

I had a short shock in my game because my young SG was injured, but now there isnt any injury displayed on his profile... lucky me...otherwise I had to buy one for that Position too ;)

Not really a problem. At that age he would be expected to drop skill.

You would expect other skills to drop first though wouldn't you? Players slip defensively, or lose their first step hurting their penetration long before they would lose anything off their jumpshot. I know guys in their 60s that shoot the lights out lol.

I'm not trying to complain or anything, just a though that came to me as I read this.

If I were implementing it, I would make it dependent on the level of the current skill, the particular skill, and the age of the player.

A player might be able to maintain an inept rebounding ability into his 40's, but not a prominent rebounding ability which might not be maintainable in the late 20s without additional training,

I agree that skills that depend more on physical ability and quickness may deteriorate sooner, such as driving, rebounding, and shot blocking. Others that depend more on experience, such as passing might be maintained longer.

You also need to remember that skills include a fractional component that is not displayed, so that a player might lose 0.9 levels of one skill with no visible drop, and a 0.1 level drop in another skill, and have a visible drop.

I was wondering if anyone knows the age at which players start to decline in training. So basically how old can a player be before you notice the change in speed and what is the highest age that is still worth training? hope this makes sense. I would appreciate anyone's insights and help based on experience or even just educated guesses.

Edit: Sorry I probably should've used help forums but a link from there took me here.

Thanks,
Jordanjr

this has probably been discussed a number of times in the help forums, but as you mentioned it took you here, I might as well try to answer it here...

My personal view is this:

every time the player ages, there will be a decline in trainingspeed. So from what age on? right from the beginning...

until when is he worth training? I'd say 21 for sure, maybe up to 23, but no longer.
I have been keeping players from their 18 and 19, into their 24 and 25 now, and you realy notice they slow down at 21, but still train, once they reach 23 it starts to go slow, once past 25 it takes ages.
I trained as much players as possible all the time, so if you focus on just a few, it might still go a little faster, but if you realy only care about progressing players, and less about game results, I'd say sell them when they are 20 or 21, that way you'll get the best out of training, and at those ages they are still worth a lot.

Maybe others have other visions?

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

Really?? its that young? I remember reading somewhere that someone was training their players all the way up to 24 and there wasn't much of a slow down. This is great information for me to have that I could just not figure out on my own b/c i dont have the experience of training older players or even players above 21. Thanks :)
