here is my example of training an old guy

Xie Guanzheng (11323951) Shooting Guard Weekly salary: $ 61 677 Age: 27 Height: 6'2" / 188 cm Potential: MVP


thanks everyone told me to stop training him but i just dont think anyone had actually trained an old player before

it isnt as bad as everyone says

if an 18 yo gets 12 pops a season that is great

but if a 26-7 yo gets 4 pops a season that is taking things from wondrous 2 marvellous that is even better - xie has had js, jr, dr and stam this season (maybe stamina doesnt count) and has 6 pops last season (js, od, ha, dr, pa and id) and there are still a few weeks left 2 get the od pop - had 4 weeks of pressure without a pop, this week could be the 1!

its even better 2 see that the js & dr have popped twice at ages 26 and 27 so i can see how slow it is
13/5 od - popped
20/5 pa
27/5 pa
3/6 trained pa & dr popped
10/6 js
17/6 js popped js
24/6 js
1/7 js
8/7 od
15/7 od
22/7 js
29/7 js
5/8 js popped js so 5 weeks to get that js pop (about 40% of the speed of a young guy)
12/8 1on1
19/8 1on1
26/8 od
2/9 1on1 popped dr so a bit hard to say but 3 week 1on1 & 7 weeks js for the dr pop (looks like about 30% of the speed of a young guy)
9/9 od
16/9 stamina
23/9 js
30/9 js


after that was written

7/10 od - popped 5 weeks of training after the last od pop

all this was single pos where possible with a lev 6 trainer

so @ age 26 & 27 he had 2 pops in each of js, dr & od

& the very next week

maybe a handling pop isnt the most exciting but when u r 27 u take whateva thrills u can get :P

i thought i went through this already this season but i cant so ill do it again

the 28 week training history shows xie has had the following pops
js 2
jr 1
od 2
ha 2
dr 2
pa 1
id 1
st 1

thats 12 pops at age 26-7 making him a much better player forever

Just to reaffirm a past claim that training speed doesn't go down to absolute zero after 30 years old.... My 33 year old reserve just popped in rebounding after getting free throw training by a level 1 trainer.
