That is true.. and I don't have a proper sample to show you that OD slows down with age.
But if we take into consideration this topic... can you tell us if your 22yo player had Handling really high compared to defense?
@Harper
On a side note, some more data that you can file away with your passing training: I trained an 18 year old (6'8"), 20 year old (6'5") and 21 year old (6'1") in passing 3 straight weeks and the 18 year old popped 3 times while the 20 and the 21 year old both popped twice.
Interesting that you're 18 year old poped 3 times in a row.. I have never seen that! The other ones does not surprise me at all!
Can you tell us if his passing was really low compared to Handling and Driving? Maybe we can take something from the current topic of the thread!
My experience, in this seasson I´ve trained for 6 weeks OD one position, 4 weeks Passing one position and 2 weeks 1 vs 1 SG/SF, lvl 5 trainer and always 48+ min. on my trainers. My rookie(18 yo and 6'1'') at the beginning of the season:
6-6
4-7
2-4
6-6
6-7
6 weeks OD(Don´t remember the exact order of pops):
6-6
8-8
2-4
6-6
6-7
6 weeks Passing(3 passing pops in a row then nothing)
6-6
8-8
3-7
6-6
6-7
2 Weeks 1 vs 1 (Only first week pops)
6-6
8-9
4-7
6-6
6-7
Hope this is useful, maybe all the pops are more related to the height that the elastic effect. I think DR are in a high sublevel.
