First part:
This won't have the effect you are looking for. Been playing with it set to 1 for a while now, and you will see very little variation in sharp changes among the 18 to 19 crowd and the 32 plus crowd. Not saying there is not an effect... just that you will def see exactly what you are seeing above on occasion.
Second Part:
It's a simulation. Some young studs make it... some will fizzle by 21. Some 31-year-old players continue as stars for several more years... and most are quickly done by 32 or 33. You scout, you try and make good decisions based on reward vs risk and you get pissed when you sign a "can't fail" like Albert Pujols. Sometimes there are warning signs such as with Pujols and your player... but often there are not.
That's baseball... but I get it. It's fantasy, and sometimes a little more certainty is simply... well... more fun. If you are new to the game, but know some baseball history... consider a recalc league. You can recreate history, or even play with random players from across the baseball timeline. You'll have the advantage of having a sense of each player's future... but what you do with that information is up to you.
