Joe Montana moving to KC. At that era it was almost like moving from pro to AAA.

It's not working like it should. Not at all.

Plateau should be longer (3 seasons) then the drop off should be -much- sharper.

A dot can play at the Pro or WL level from his 8th-13th season if he's well built. That's 6 seasons. Sure, only his 11th season is the official "Plateau", but htere's a much longer "effective plateau".

And I suspect that the drop-off betwen day 520 and day 560 is *quite* sharp...

Show me one day 280 dot (8th season) lvl 52ish dot that is a factor at the Pro or WL level. We are not talking about season 1 and 2 dots anymore... as a whole, we all build much better dots now and younger dots are not going to be able to compete with older dots like used to. A team might get by with a couple lvl 59-60ish dots (as future replacements) but if they want to win they will have almost all dots in their 10-12th seasons (come playoff time a dot in their 13th season should be garbage (provided Bort has coded decline right... there is some speculation on this in another thread).

That said... we really do not have a plateau season because players in that final season before decline can still boost (hell, they can boost right before decline starts in season 12), training, get XP.

Don't allow dot's to drop back down to AA or AAA. Restrict dots over 440 days to pro or WL only.

I dont see Emmit smith, jerry rice, or Bret farve trying to rip it up in the Arena legue, Canada, or back in college.

not NFL but...

Chris Chelios...just watched him a couple weekends ago in a Chicago Wolves game...at 48 years of age...just got called back to NHL by the Atl Thrashers...

Current state of the game:
I think dots can be effective in the pros from age 320-520...
WL age 360-480..

I think most would agree that it would nice to get a bit wider peak period.

the way its set up in relation to actual humans 400 days would = early 30's ... 440 plateau would be the 34-36 year

so these dots ct was referring to are 110 days past that or 9-10 years.

so it's safe to say 45 year old football players would dominate a group of 23-28 year olds? be able to maintain their abilities for an entire game without any drop off?

leave the sim alone!

more dot colors instead!

obviously these dots found the extended plateau exploit they were talking about in the private tester forum...its not fair that these guys get leaked info like that...its bs really... >_>

seeing dooley get chased down from behind by level 50 somethings breaks my heart a little.

even with decline, good dots who are 65+ will beat dots who are 50ish

All superstars on this team are in major decline....

So what makes them so special VA's SA's?



That league is ridiculously weak. I'm on the other side and we're just a tad worried about our trophy game, but fully expect to play the Jeb's in the league championship and get our asses handled.

nope, no trophy for you. We'll be there.

lol, op is mildly retarded apparently

Don't think decline is up there yet, more like 5-10 point decline at 15-20% penalty.
