Player Regression

[binballin]

Player regression is pretty strong this year at age 32 I have seen player stats drop drastically from 31 to 32

[Gary Gorski]

I have felt that in the past players were not declining enough and were being too productive for too long a period of time so I have turned up the decline in this version.

What specifically did you see that would be considered out of line or unrealistic?

[binballin]

I've seen Kawhi average 27 ppg at 31 to 18 ppg at 32 then 7 ppg at 33 also the oldest active player in my league is Kawhi at 35
Nba stars usually don't drastically decline till mid-30s

I also would oppose a more rapid decline. I think it was already quite early in the previous versions.
Again looking from a multi player league, player close to 30 don't have any worth anymore which makes trading harder and that is a big part of the fun for many GM's.

Would it be possible to make it a setting, so the commish can set the rate?
Or even randomize it?

[Gary Gorski]

I have toned this down in b11.0.1 - please confirm that it is not as drastic and then I will close this out

[Flaming Homer]

Just tested with b11.0.1 and it seems still pretty high.

A 31 year old player loses already 2 points, 32 and older 6 points.
Maybe it was the case already in the 21 version but before they started to lose 3 points starting with age 32.

just tested as well and 31 to 32 to 33 is pretty much the same the ppg drop by 7 per year

[Gary Gorski]

What do you mean "31 to 32 to 33 is pretty much the same the ppg drop by 7 per year" - are you looking at like one player? You guys need to provide me with some data here because there's no way every player is losing enough rating points to drop 7 PPG on average.

I'm going test it one more time to check

Oh sorry I made a mistake I mean 32-33-34
