I don't play much historical OOTP these days, but I know that you can find quite a bit of good information around these parts about what sorts of settings to use to get the most historically accurate results in a sim.
I'm guessing that what you are seeing could possibly be because of the settings that you are using (and don't get me wrong, they could well be default settings, and I'm not saying any of this is your fault) and with the OOTP development engine taking over and depending upon things like Talent Change Randomness, as you move forward in time, from wherever it is that you start, a player's history could change significantly from what it was IRL.
But again, there are ways to mitigate this sort of thing if what you prefer is that the sim you are running sticks more closely to actual real-life performances up to the time that we can know what those are, and there are plenty of fine folks here who can offer guidance and wisdom about how to set things up so as to not have as much potential for unexpected drop-offs (or upticks) in individual player performances that don't mirror their real-life stats as closely.
