I do not have a firm number set in stone right now as to how fast you will decline, which is why I haven't said anything about that.
Decline will start with a 1 season plateau in the player's 10th season, to the day. This is where you will stop receiving SP. You will still get VP's, though. After that plateau season, your attributes will start to decline. You will be able to fight it some by training and such, but eventually it will not be possible to keep up. My current inclination is to aim for 13 - 14 seasons or so to be that point, and you probably won't want to play him much any more after 15-16, but it's all up to you of course when you want to hit the "retire" button.
This is promising imo for a few reasons - 1) he claims to be carrying through with the retirement process, which is a win in and of itself 2) players stop getting skill points after their 10th season, which will impact his cash flow. no sense in boosting if you don't get anything from it. this reinforces his stance on the subject, as it will directly affect his money. 3) players will decline on the 10th season to the day - not sure what to make of this, not sure what I expected the answer to be.
So, in theory, season 11 will still be worth keeping a player as he wouldn't have lost much at that point, if anything. He stops getting skill points, so the guys 1 season behind him have finally caught up and are on 'even' footing. Season 12 and on makes it harder to justify keeping a player, especially since the guys 2-4 seasons behind him have caught up and in theory should be superior based on better build tactics/slow builds.
Hopefully he carries through with this. It's a good sign that he addressed it
