Simple. Name ONE. Not some scrub. Name one player who was an all-star caliber player for two years prior to his 25th birthday and who was out of the game completely by 29 without any injuries. Now realize that this is happening in my league at a rate of over one player per season.
Are scrubs hanging on to long? Never paid attention. Are lots of scrubs only around a couple years in real life? Sure. How does it match up with OOTP? Not really concerned. But I am concerned when player after player falls completely off the table in less than one year. When a guy has a .393 OBP at age 26 and by the following spring is so bad he can't get 50 at bats. That is a problem and it hurts the believability of a great game.
