Median = 27
Avg top 10 = 27.2
Avg top 20 = 27.1
Avg top 30 = 26.9666
avg top 40 = 26.925
avg top 50 = 27.12
avg top 60 = 26.833
avg top 70 27.1
avg top 80 = 27.2125

As you can see from the last data set I posted that's a 2-3 year age difference in the top of the league 10 years in the future compared to the standard after one 2012 season. The development system obviously has too many younger players and not enough older ones performing in their
prime. When I look at the data set the oldest peak age is only 31-32 and there are very few players at that which is obviously unrealistic.

I hope this data set helps and rests the case people have been making for years here.

My next step is to sim another 5-10 years ahead to see the dramatic drop off mirrored in less hof inductions.
What are your development and aging mods set at?
