But you can't train that 25 starter player at that age he won't be able to get a single up although he hasn't reached his potential cap! Is this true or not? So age must be connected to the potential.

He'll train slower than he would if he's 18 because he's older. But if his skills haven't reached the potential cap, he'll train just as fast (or slow) as if his potential were MVP. Potential sets the ceiling, and age/trainer level/elastic effect, etc of training affects how fast you get to that ceiling.

As others have said there is no age cap based on potential it all depends on whether the player has capped skill wise.

I doubt its true, as far as I know,as long as your trainee is not capped, he can still improve, but at the age of 25 it'll be too slow that its not worth doing it,my 25 y/o star potential who has never got any training pop-ed in DV although it took 3 weeks 1on1 forwards with a lvl 4 trainer (speaking about trainer, I forgot to mention that trainer level also plays an important role in training speed in my previous post,my bad).

I was exaggerated with my last post that when I said that he won't get a single up.

But if there is no age-potential scale why the training will be to slow for star and not to slow for MVP?

*star hasn't reached his cap, he is far away of his cap

As far as I know,it shouldn't slow down due to potential. Also the star might be slightly(1 or 2 weeks slower)than the MVP(same age) if he has a low sub-level in that particular skill while the mvp has a high sub-level in that skill

I am starting to figure this. If I understand everybody who try to explain me this, every player have potential cap and that is a limit of his opportunity to became a great player. And ages, height, trainer and other things just have influence of how quick he will reach his maximum.

So if this is true thanks for everybody :)))

Here is an interesting scenario:

What player would you rather train?

A 5k 21year-old with all-time great potential
or
A 5k 18year-old with star potential?

I would take none of them ;)
But if I would have to answer the question:
Definitely the second one, the first will never reach his potential, so why bother even trying.
His training will be very slow too.
