older players will decrease their skills much faster. 33 yo decrease, but very slowly. you can spend a whole season without a drop on a 33yo. from 34 on, it gets downhill dramatically. some skills drop faster too, from my experience i can tell Jump Shot is very hard to keep on a high level for older dudes. i have some old guys to fill my rosters and this season that was what happened to them:

33yo - no drop
34yo - 5 drops, 3 drops on JS
36yo - 2 drops
38yo - 8 drops
40yo - 10 drops

I think that was just random. In fact, a few of my players have lost every skill *except* jump shot! This guy (10282407) even had decent shooting ability into his 50s. His jump shot finally fell to awful last season, but keep in mind that the rest of his skills have been atrocious (1) for a very long time.

Plus I've had a couple of players in their late 40s get pops in jump shot and hold onto it for a while.

Since this is related, I'll ask this here:

Does anyone know whether a "Career extension" trainer is worse at regular skills training?

I've got some old guys on my team, so I was considering a "career extension" trainer. But I don't want my trainees to suffer because of it.

Always go for a trainer with a career extension specialty if you have a bunch of older guys on your team, it doesn't have any negative impact on your overall training whatsoever, just an added bonus.

I don't know if older play skill drops are random
but I have had players with mulitple double drops and players of the same age with none at all
