I have always disliked the aging mechanism in top eleven. Logically, a player becomes more useful as they gain experience, however most of us tend to keep our academy players until they get to the age of 24 or 25 then sack them.

In real life, young players tend to be fast at learning all sorts of skills, and as they grow older they tend to focus their training on a couple of skills that they find themselves "really" good at.

If we apply this to Top Eleven, then we might have a skills set that naturally deteriorates with age and can't be further improved, such as Fitness, Speed, and Dribbling. But, we also have skills that naturally keep improving as the players age, like "Positioning" (I guess it's the only one).

The remaining skills should still be slow trainers just like the existing Nordeus way, except for a couple of (randomely selected) skills that the aging player is considered really good, which will keep improving with him as if he's still young.

Ibrahimovic, for examples, despite his training time he can never retain his fitness for 90 minutes, he's becoming slower, and can barely dribble like before. Yet he's as strong as ever, and still got the same finishing touch and shooting skills, etc.

No further explanation, I think we all understand the concept, yet I'm not sure if it makes sense to Nordeus, but I'd really be so much interested in enjoying the growth of one or two stars from the academy for years until they become actual legends of the team, not a burden on my squad.
