Player Development - Limitations

Limitations in Acquiring Skills
The younger a player is, the faster he is able to acquire new skills. On the other hand, an older player can only improve with difficulty, particularly in the two speed categories, and he is most likely to lose level points here.

Over the course of a career, the ability to learn new skills is limited by talent. Players with a talent value of "1" (only one yellow point on the star) can have up to two skills with positive values, players with talent of "2" to "4" can have three, but only players with a talent value of "5" can have the full four skills.

If a player has acquired all the skills and achieved the maximum playing level in his team unit, he still continues to try to improve his playing level. He doesn`t do this for nothing - as a result of his hard work, he can pick up an injury without immediately losing playing level points.
