What I AM saying is that I think the decline should be slightly lesser than it is and players should retire because of their own personal decision and not because they simply have ZERO ratings left.
There's a few more studies around that have shown that "most" players, do in fact lose their abilities before they retire. a "few" quit before then - and this is mirrored in OOTP to about the right level. 100 year simulations will bring about the right number as what happened in real life.
