# Do players age? What is player Longevity?

Yes, players will age at a rate of one year for each season that goes by. Each season spans roughly 6 IRL calendar weeks. 
Performance begins to degrade past a certain age until the player finally decides to hang up the boots. 

## LONGEVITY (LON)
LONGEVITY relates to how long a player may maintain peak performance before their abilities deteriorate. Players with a high LONGEVITY rating will enjoy longer careers. The LON rating can range from 0 to 10. It is a hidden attribute that cannot be discovered up until the player retires.
