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.
