Silly question, but did the training speeds change?

I just bought an 18yr old of very high price. Normally practice match would get about 50-60 for a player like this, but i trained him 3 times and did not even get 40. I have 6 stars at 20-21 that can train at this speed. So basically would cost me almost 2 greens for 1 point.

Is this the new norm, or is this guy just not as good as I think?
