rate of improvement Topic

I have a guy with 73 work ethic who was average in Passing and was given 25 minutes of passing practice the whole season.  HE improved from 53 to 59 during the entire regular season.  Does this seem odd to anyone else?  HE still hasn't hit red yet, so I know there is more to gain.  He plays a little over 15 minutes a game and has improved his WE over this season.

Not necessarily. I had a junior this year who started with 64 (black) and finished with 70 (red). His WE is 95, and he got 20 minutes per game. He was only getting 20 minutes of practice, but there may be diminishing returns over 20 minutes of practice for a single attribute category like passing.

I thought it was 25?  Maybe I am wrong.

i believe you are correct, after 25 minutes you get diminished returns,

It's 25 minutes for team practice (IQ), but for individual categories diminished returns start at 20 min.

I agree, diminishing returns kick in after 20 minutes.

My understanding is the same as lunardi, though I often feel ok dumping high numbers of practice minutes into conditioning and defense, since they feed into more than one attribute. I have no data on where exactly the point is where diminishing returns start for practice time, but it does feel like it starts lower for REB, LP, PER, BH, P than for C and DEF.
