Sorry for taking so long... it takes me an hour to update the active roster and the reserve rosters for a team.
The 2074 Islandian Pro Alliance season should begin in about a week or so.
I think I will try playing two seasons back-to-back, 2074 and 2075, and just see what type of rookie class the AI creates... in the past most of the rookies don't have the ratings to play in the IPA...they just sit on the reserved rosters and age and never make the active rosters.
Why doesn't the AI purge and get rid of weak players?... why doesn't the AI retire aging players that are no longer performing well?... It will keep an aging, underperforming player for 2-3 years... I have to retire them.
Revising rosters each season and creating free agents just takes too much time... I have to find another way to do it.

I don't know much about how player development works in OOTP. But perhaps since there's no minor leagues, there's no good place for the rookie class to go to develop their skills.
I wonder what would happen if we added two or three levels of minor leagues to our games.
As for aging, declining players whose skills are below that of replacement players sitting on rosters and not retiring, I'm not sure why that is. Maybe there's just not an abundance of talent to fill 64 teams in your IPA world.
