Career Paths?

spitfire · 05-22-2009, 11:16 PM

Just wondering ..... there was discussion in the past regarding career paths in OOTP, with the conclusion that players were peaking too early (age 25) compared to real life. I believe RonCo was instrumental in making this point. Was this looked at and/or adjusted for version X?

Amazingly, I was just over on the site RonCo was posting on in Jan. reading up on this as I use the skydog/ronco settings.

The way I read and understood what Markus posted over there was that he was not convinced it was an issue. Or at least there were questions about it. There were some posts about further testing as well. I may have that wrong but that is what I remember reading anyway...

Personally, I think the skydog/ronco settings are much better and will continue to use those.

I'm using those settings as well. I'm sure you're right about the reaction to RonCo's ideas by Markus. I was wondering if this topic had been revisited while the new version was being developed. No mention of it in the features list, so I reckon not. Thought I'd ask anyway.
