Max skill values changing with player age

I'm wondering if makes sense that max value of some skills could change with the age of the player.
For exemple, it could be that, as for real players, the athletic skills (stamina, speed, strength) get worse in time, the technical skills (shooting, passing, heading, ....) don't change, and experience skills (insight, play making, play it out, ...) get better in time.
What do you think about it?

It might be a good idea, but then the young players will always have 100% stamina and then it will slowly drop.

But with some players they might be young but cannot run and have no speed. So it will not work.

In real life, changing of the skills doesn't mean that every player starts with 100% in some skills.
So I don't suggest to modify the inital max-value, but only the max-value when the player get older.
Of course, the modifications could be in % of the current value, so it can never drops to 0.

euhm... this already exists.... if a player gets older, his form gets lower and lower... haven't you noticed that?

Yes, I noticed that, and experience gets higher and higher, but I was talking about other skills (not experience, morale or fitness that are already variable).

... that's not true ... just an exemple ... a GK performs better when he is older!!!
