Huh? Which of the reasons he could have known better when purchasing the player qualifies as "excuse"?

The only way to "fix" the (non) bug would be changing the order of things happening - Age / Finances before draft, but given that there are a few solid ways to tell whether the "18 year old" is a rookie or not, that would be a big move.
He made a mistake due to lack of clearness.

He could analyze it better, if he would look at other fields, as you have written, but it is just excuses.
It should be clear, and not vague as it is.
It is vague due to the fact that he tried to analyze it the same he does and the way it works works most of the times, and got a wrong conclusion.

Writing near the age value, when was it last updated (or when is the next update supposed to happen), resolves it nice and clean.

And once again...
WHY ISN'T IT MOVED TO THE BUG'S FORUM???

it is clear on the players page where it says 'Player X was pick #X in season XX draft, by team ABC' If the player had already been draft that year, it would have said Seaon 18 draft.

it is unfortunate that the user did not check this information, but it was something that i was checking before trying to buy players. It is very clear to me and other users.

so its no bug, the functionality already exists, if the user made an unfortunate error by not seeing this information, then sorry, that is his fault, not the game's fault.

For me, it could not be any more clear.

He read - this player is 18 YO, and did not played a single game.
He thought that it means something, and others can make that same mistake.
Why not making things clear?
This game is not about tricking the users...

The user wants to know a player's age, is likely to look at... the player's age.
On the real world, the age will include D and M in addition of the Y.
Here it should display when was the last time it was changed.

What wrong will it do by addung the last time the age had been updated?

Yes, it is not a design bug, because it showed what had been true.
But it did not looked at the whole picture when had been designed.
It is like designing a clock with no minutes display.
The time will be right, but just not presice enough...
A user who will look at 11:59 will see 11:00, and could not complain. Or should he?...

We will not add a thing who will bother everyone the rest of the time, because you didn't look the whole picture.
Don't pretend it is "YOUR" desicion where it isn't even close to that.

And once again, there are those that prefer keeping things not cristal-clear, so could take an advantage over them.
Once again, they are the same user(s).

It's not his decision but if you see the previous posts there are 2 more users saying that this is not crucial and the only thing you need is to pay a little more attention!And i agree with them!So we are 3 of 4 users who had post until now in this thread!
1) It is 3 out of five (I did not set this thread).

2) Coach Regan, did not said he is against it. He said that it can be analyzed.

3) Much more important, it is not about neither of us. Neither of all of us is a BB. Only they take a desicion.

4) I did not felt on that obscoureness, but I see how can it happen, and so, it should be covered.
No one should get an advantage due to that.

And also let all of us to have a different opinion than yours!
I am not the one who is trying to impose his opinion.
Reminders:
Perepete: "We will not add a thing who will..."
Nickleon: "So we are 3 of 4 users who had post until now in this thread!"

And i'm saying again that this is not crucial for me!
You just have to pay more attention in the offseason period!
And only in the specific period for such a matter!

And I'm writing (w/o exclamation mark at each sentence) that I haven't doen this mistake.
That there is no reason to cause this confusion.

That this game not need to be about veteran users taking this kind of confusion among some newbies to make their fortune.

This game is BB-managing game. Amazingly this is needed to be reminded once again.
