It's not realistic for that to happen during the season unless he injured his arm somehow. Some of the best set up man and closers are over 35. Mariano Rivera was dominating the game these age.

I understand not every pitcher can pitch like that age at a high-level. But every single player over 35 pitcher or ballplayer shouldn't drop that much. There should be some players that can play at 35 or 40 At a high level. Heck Jamie Moyer even won a game last year at the age of 50. In the show he probably would've been a 20 ovr. One thing older players have is experience and the mental game over the younger players. That should be set taken advantage of.
After the Spring Training Decline has been fixed the biggest remaining issue I see with the regression system is the disproportional fast and drastic decline (>15 pts) of players aged 36+, with ratings in the upper 80s and higher during the FIRST year of each franchise.
Note: In the later years this isn't a problem anymore because with the way the regression engine works there is basically no chance of having a 37 year old player with a rating over 85. Players are starting to decline with 34 and lose around 7 to 10 points of their rating every year so by the age of 37 even the former best players are in the low 80s. And the regression engine usually won't decline a player with such lower ratings as fast despite their advanced age.

In my most recent test franchise I have paid special attention to those 8 players: Dickey, Jeter, Ichiro, Kuroda, Rivera, Ortiz, Tim Hudson, Joe Nathan. All over 36 yrs rated at least 89. After the first season all of them declined by 15+ points.
I wouldn't have a problem if that dramatic decline had happened to let's say 3 of them, while another 3 go down by the regular 7 to 10 points (as the average 35 year old player does in the game) and maybe another 2 would have kept about the same rating they had at the beginning of the season.
Maybe such a variety just isn't in the code of the current regression/progression engine so in that case I would like to see those all guy decline rather by 7 to 10 points than all of them losing 15 and more.

Good news, it appears we don't have to restart our franchises at least for the regression issue. Went into 2014 spring training and there was no regression for my already in progress franchise.

Did they not fix the classic base running so that we can steal individual runners in first and 3rd situations???? And did they fix the MOM so that the defense adjust there positions so that double plays will be turned??

Unfortunately...no...the CPU is still not adjusting it's defense.
This one REALLY hurts as Manage only Mode is all about tactics and not having this work removes a great percentage of the strategy.

Sim stats look great now. K numbers may be a tad low still but nothing drastic. League avg. Is about 6.8-6.9 per game. League leader was strasburg with 232ks. 6 total pitchers cracked 200. Batting avg. Are better too league avg. .258 with only 3 teams above .270. Detroit league leader at .283. Great work scea as this was my major gripe and it seems to be fixed.

VERY IMPORTANT. YOU MUST START A NEW FRANCHISE. I loaded an old one from a previous save file and simmed a seasin and all stats were way off. Super high k totals like 10/game. Had me very worried, but when I started a new franchisr stats were all good. I was panicking.

I agree. I've always said I hope that one day sports games won't have "ratings" for players. We should base trades, free agent signings, etc. off of their numbers and scouting reports (which may or may not be accurate).
