(Sorry in advance if this question has been asked/answered in other threads years ago)
In the game which is more important in the player development/regression curve, the player's age or the player's years of experience? For example --- all ratings being equal --- which player is more likely to start regressing quicker:
31 year old LB with 10 years experience
32 year old LB with 8 years experience
Assuming, of course, that there have been no hints of growth/regression from either over the past 2-3 seasons to indicate the start of a dip ... outside of our experience playing the game telling us that LBs tend to fall of quickly after around 10 yrs in the league.
The game does assign real birthdates and tracks average ages of teams by position group, so I'd think that age plays some role, but most/all studies you see posted on the message board list out based on years experience.
