The biggest impact will be on guys who get very good, very early - previously, it was a little difficult for game-generated players to get the Gretzky/Lemieux/Crosby/McDavid type of career path where they're already NHL star-caliber players at 17 but have long careers after that. Players would either develop slowly and stay around forever, or develop very quickly but burn out equally fast. Now, there's a lot more variability and uncertainty about what path they'll follow (and some of that's been incorporated into the scouting feedback you get, too.)

Not wanting to necro an old thread but it's touched on here so...
Does a higher number for Aging essentially mean they burn out quicker?
For example, If I'm looking for a player who can maintain his ability for a long time would I want a high number in Aging or lower number? Thanks.
