That's a bit of a leading question, but they did mention it costs more training points now to improve ratings that are already very high. However, they also said that was done so that players would actually have a more realistic decline late in the career:

Quote:

The Training Screen has been enhanced this year to make it more user-friendly and informative. You no longer have to guess how many points it will take to level-up an attribute, as the screen will tell you exactly how many points it will cost to upgrade to the level you have set the bar to. You can also train multiple attributes at one time and keep track of how much progress you have made with each attribute in that current year. From a logic standpoint, the cost of training has changed too, so now it is really expensive to level-up when you start getting attributes in the 80’s and 90’s. This makes it harder to become unrealistically good and expensive to maintain such high attributes when they start regressing.

I'm sure opinions are going to vary on that (they always do), but it seems fair to me.
