More realistic but frustrating.
Life is realistic and unfair so people commit suicide
Such realism in BB can cause frustration and quit playing
If the skills fell evenly and slowly (for example, 0.1 skills per week at 33), the game would be less realistic but fairer and less frustrating

A double drop in a key skill on the first training update after a player turns 33 is just unfair :`-(
(not that this happened to me today, not at all...)

I'm all for realism, but I don't think double drops are realistic, you don't suddenly get significantly worse in a skill. I think it should be more gradual, it should be random but maybe maximised at 0,5 level per update per skill at 33yo. That can still lead to multiple skills dropping a level which is fine, but no double drops.

I have some interesting examples that show just how random drops are. All of the examples are with the career extension coach.

- My 33yo guard dropped OD from 20 to 16 in the first 2 weeks of training last season:


- My 40yo still hasn't dropped in his primary skill:


- My 34yo once had a triple drop!!!

I always have 33+ year olds with career extension coach, some players dropped 7 skills at the age of 33, some only had 4-6 drops until they turned 36.
Someone I know had a player that had a quadruple drop on OD (from 20 to 16), also with the career extension coach. The player was old, like 38yo or something.
