Hi guys,

Nice addition with the experience for players above 31. Perhaps it could be further expanded by e.g 27-28s old gets -2 on away games, 29-30s old gets -1 and finally when they reach 31 they won’t get any penalty at all playing away from home.

That was an option I thought about when implementing this feature. I decided to use the age cause it would be much more complicated to use number of matches played, because of the way we store this information.

When you would lower the age till 24, the 30+ aged players will become useless again. A 30+ aged player is already loosing skillpoints so in general the 24 y.o. player will be better.

I’m with Dirk on this one, we cannot lower too much the age since the idea is to make older players more interesting and strategic.

I think than to change the behavior of the older players in the most important part of the season, it is not fair…. new rules should be applied when season is over or at the start of a new one. This way, a manager can know where to stand with the team.
In my personal case, i have being selling all my great old player so, so so soooooo CHEAP. And know, all sudden they are great for the team!!!!! Wow, nice…… so know older teams are better than young, because they are all they develop and youngsters not!!!.
I dont think older players must be that positive. It is good, they influence youngsters, but lets faced, it is better ronaldinho know or five seasons ago……..
Please make changes just in the start or end of the season, this is not fair.

Waiting for the season start means we’ll have this kind of change every 48 days only :D

I understand your complaints, but old players will still have their skills decreased, it’s just a way to make them valuable for an extended period. And you have a great team, you’ll be able to face this challenge ;)

I’ll implement Alexander’s suggestion next season, -2 penalty for 27-28 years old players and -1 penalty for 29-30.

kuroyuki, this has been introduced in RS to make the older players more valuable, even when they start losing skills…

we understand your point, but as we lower the age a little too much, the older players again will be relatively useless…

I think the logical choice would be what Kuro says. His idea is more “realistic”, but the sole purpose of the idea is to make older players more valuable. Although I don’t agree with the 27-28 upgrade…

The market atm is just to crap already, this can only drive up the prices of older players EVEN MORE, since they become more valuable…..

This 27-28 upgrade seems like a controversial subject…what about -1 for 30 y.o. and -2 for 29 y.o?

I find this proposal very interesting. I think it seems very realistic – many teams have at least one experienced player in every chain for the younger players to lean on. This suggestion would also increase the value of older players as their presence in the starting line-up benefits the whole squad.

I just want to make sure. If you play at home all your players get a +3 while playing away all players under 31 get a -3 ?

@onions, nowadays players don’t get +3 while playing at home, but the away team players get -3 penalty on all the skills.

a new update was recently issued so that players who are 31 or above do not receive -3 penalty on their skills. ie, they will be as good as when they play at home. this was issued to make elder players more valuable and their experience count.

I wish I knew about this rule change before, I would not have sold my 30+ year old defenders. But I’m all for doing a -1 penalty for 29-30 and -2 for 27-28

that is still in the discussion from next season onwards… possibility is that 29 yrs would receive -1 and 30 yrs -2.
but i don’t like the 27-28/29-30 idea… that will make the market too expensive as players get older…
