21yo players train half as fast as 19yo players.


I don't believe this is the case in the least.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

When talking about age I was answering a separate question, I did not mean potential was related to age.


I remember Charles definitely saying that 18 and 19 year old players train twice as fast as 21 year olds. This was said back in season 3 when we had the training speed increased (thus increasing salaries) to balance the excess money in the BB economy.

In my experience once a player hits 21 they start decreasing in pops in comparison to the 18 year olds. I have a cruddy 19 year old which I train in the same position as my best player who is 21. Training a single skill with both players getting 48mins my 21 year old takes at least 2 weeks more to go up a single level. My 19 year old is also the wrong height...
