Sorry, I meant to get back to you earlier and got caught up with some other things - yes, changing the Peak Age by that much is going to have a huge effect on the development curve, particularly with the changes to the development system (mainly the Aging attribute) in 7. The increase in the distance between the baseline peak age and the player's starting point is going to depress the development rate of the players by so much that it becomes very difficult for them to push established players - you can see that in the drafts from the early 50's, where there are a huge number of first-round busts. There are also some known issues with drafting priorities that may be affect whether or not the imported players get chosen vs. their fictional alternatives, but the peak adjustment will be the bulk of the problem.
