FOF2004: When do ratings decline due to age?

[Castlerock]

When do you typically see a ratings decline due to age? Between seasons? Just before camp? Just after camp?

[Joe]

can happen many times in the season. biggest changes are when you progress to a new season, after the draft, and after training camp.

Birthdays might have something to do with it too.

I usually see them in the 10-11th season vet after the roll over to the next season.

major ratings shifts occur:

-beginning of new season
-beginning of free agency
-end of draft
-after training camp


Personally, I see the biggest "old age" declines immediately after the draft ends.
