What they will lose is speed, vertical, hands, steals, quickness, acceleration, etc. My sliders are also designed for gameplay. So while an OVR may be high due to those consistency and IQ ratings, you will find when the game is played that the downturn in physical attributes will make some of the older players not worth a lot on the court. So that's my logic. By no means do I insist that my way is always right. I take base gameplay slider sets and adjust them to my liking and I assume others do the same with regression/progression sets. That's why I spelled out my logic in this thread on how I came to the ratings.

I perfectly agree with what you said in regards to player regressing athletically. I used Barnsey's sliders from 2K19 for a good chunk of the year which has the same philosophy to what you're doing here so I understand. I have no issues your sliders at all don't get me wrong, I didn't even say anything about physical attributes.

I will say though, in my opinion at least, the consistency ratings don't get better or remain the same at the twilight of an aging player's career. For Shot IQ though, I agree that players get better with age in identifying which shots are good and which ones are not. But what about on how they can consistently contribute offensively or defensively? For instance, Nowitzki was wildly inconsistent (in terms of offensive production) in his final year.

I will adjust though, your sliders are still excellent.
