I don't think anyone wants "exact" (even those who try to keep things as close to real life as possible). However, with development off the idea is to get players to perform as close to real life as possible (with some obvious variance).
The more we have discussed though, I think the problem (most likely) has to do with guys who never retired skewing the stats. However, that doesn't really explain why myself and The Game ran other tests and got his stats more in line with what one would expect using the same basic setup. I guess it could have just been a one-off year where several scrubs turned into stars and played much longer than normal which really threw the stats out of whack. Since we haven't been able to recreate it that probably serves as the most likely explanation...
