The fact that the older players has a lower price is a physiological thing of the game,an older player has less years left at his top level,and have a value that drops day by day because who will buy them,will have always less possibilities to sell him when he had to rebuild his team.
But this is something that doesn't have nothing to do with a lack of money,that has made to decrease the prices,due to the fact that incomes/costs balance doesn't allow to save money for a team which wants to be competitive,as in the top leagues,as,in a worse situation,in the lower leagues

I partly agree. But I would argue that as each season goes by the player pool gets larger meaning more developed players for sale meaning lower prices for all. And, as stated many times by the BBs, their goal is to make teams operate at close to 0 profit. Transfer prices falling is an inidication of this happening.
And my anecdote was more of an effect scenario of this than a reason for it.

it looks like prices for veterans (age 24+) are still decreasing

big men are still getting hit...I bought one during the first week, and it looks like better centers are going cheaper now

does anyone else see this happening?

24+ are veterans? how come? the best players are 24-26 while skill decreasing starts about 30+ so i dont really see 24+ veterans. it is like 6 seasons to hit decreasing that is what i find as a loong time keeping your team at the top level while you can train youngsters and still keep your quality high..

I asked this in another forum, but I'll ask here as well. Have you actually seen 30-year old players drop in skill? I have not yet experienced a drop in skill from my 30-year old. I have only seen a drop in skill form a 35-year old. I had him for a while as a 34 year old and don't remember his skills dropping. Then he depopped twice at 35 and I fired him.

Well, you've only been here since season 2, so I totally disregard anything you say...

Just kidding. Thanks for the info, I respect your experience quite a bit, actually.

I have just made quick search on TL, here are results:

50 players of age 34 have 3 skill drops (and 2 skillups :D)
50 players of age 33 have 6 skill drops
50 players of age 32 have 0 skill drops

Stamina drops haven't been counted.

It's just small sample of players, but it looks like at least at 33 there are skill drops. Maybe if we search for more players aged 32, we will find any skill drop as well.
