No, just the under-24 effect, and the likelihood that the player won't have access to elite coaching at lower levels.

-Could we have more information on the downgrading process happening after players pass the ''peak'' age (which is 26 by default I think). I observed that my players tend to lose half a star each year after 26, systematically.

Yeah, I'll show you that soon, I deliberately left the aging/retirement process out of this topic for now, since there's a lot there to describe.

-How is the star ratings calculated? Is it normal that some players gain more stars than their potential? If it's the case it is genius.

The star ratings will be disappearing soon, we're going to switch to a 10-point model that'll be used for both internal calculations and external display to the user. I'll give a few more details about that when we add it.

Finally, is there any hidden stat, player specific, that influences favourably or negatively the learning curve or the longevity of the players?
|
Yup, the Aging attribute does exactly that, determines the point at which the player's decline starts, and changes dynamically based on certain events in the player's career. More on that when I talk about aging/decline.
