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

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?

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?

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

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.

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.
