The weaken feature for low AB players strengthens high AB players. Perhaps lowering the weaken threshold brings the high AB players closer to reality.

I estimate that since adjust goes both ways it zeros out. But that's a guess with no evidence.

However, what this shows is that not keeping the adjust and weaken within a pool of adjusted and weakened players, that is, the changes within the pool zeroing out, distorts the game output. If a player gets something added to his contact rating some other adjusted player should have the same amount taken away.
