Pathetic decision to extend the age to 35 years old. What the BB team are forgetting is LeBron is the exception when it comes to this sort of longevity at the top. Even if you look at football players, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are the exceptions, but even those freaks are playing to a lower standard.

I like the change but doing this without any notice, one week in a new season when people have been selling their 34yo in anticipation of drops is a big fat middle finger to the userbase. And that is coming from someone that is not impacted, luckily.

Will the drops for a 35yo now be comparable to a previous 34yo? Or are the effects just scrapped for 34yo and stay the same for 35yo?

I agree with many here...
The change is reasonable, trying to stay close to reality is not a problem.
However this is something which ideally should be announced either one season in advance or at least somewhere mid season... many of us are planning longer term ahead with the team, so something like this can have serious impact on the planning.

Great decision for small nations with fewer top-level prospects. One additional year of usage makes a huge difference to us!

Much appreciated!
