The age of players , and impact of gain / loss of stars on training

[Skidz]

A player gains a year every new season, as he gets older his training will slow down, even scouts dont constantly get high skill points all the time!,, every time you level up your existing players will lose a star as the next level player of the same star of are a higher quality.
Yes having stars does effect games as quality does count!, having said that a lower star hot prospect can play better than an ordinary slow trainer higher star player so it is allways a safe bet to get a hot prospect or scout.

[John Naish]

I guess what I was trying to say was that yes quality counts, but the number of stars is not directly linked to how well your players play.
