This did not do it for me. It just led to the league having a handful of superstars and the rest of the big leaguers being 35-40, with the occasional 45-50. Guys were outperforming their rating of course but still were peaking early/at the beginning of their career -- even the 3-4 superstars were not replicating their peak years in their early 20s.
My thought is that something is happening where the league totals are not on pace to be hit (say for home runs, hits, Ks, etc.) and thus the sim engine is responding by boosting younger players performance (idk if that even is a thing) so that top guys are still performing at/near their preseason predictions. Still, those now-28-years-old top guys were 7-8 war guys in their first two-three years in the league, and now are steady 4-5 war guys.
My thought now is that maybe there are not enough good players? so young guys are having outlier years to cover up the gaps in reaching the league totals? Idk, but I am going to try a sim where I slightly bump the development up while slightly turning talent change randomness down.
