Well we STILL don't know how the 'decline' is going to happen.
It may be gradual over 3 seasons... in which case players that start to decline will STILL be very good for an extra season. Maybe 2.
Borts not gonna ever say exact numbers of the decline, hes sneaky that way. Im sure guys might try and figure it out themselves though.
But the decline is set. Next season is plateau season, starts when it hits your "B-Day". Season 12, your gonna start to see a loss in Att's when your S12 Bday comes around. Then Season 13 you will start to see a bigger loss and your gonna start thinking about retiring him. S14 hes gonna be pretty much done.
The WL should have been implemented by now though. Should be fun to watch but i dont envy the gameplanners of those teams, you got your work cut out for you.
One thing the Pro leagues will notice then, since the best teams have moved up, is that your gonna see more balance i think. Either that or the talent is just gonna all go to the WL, since anyone whos a high level is gonna just want to play for WL team.
I can already see the WL recruiting, its gonna be easy for them to score all the premium FAs.
