I'm in 2035 of an MLB save using 100% scout accuracy. I just looked for players age 30+ with an overall 50+ rating and this is what I have.
Pitchers
Age 35-42 - 1 SP, 0 RP
Age 30-34 - 7SP, 9 RP (7 of these are age 30, 5 of the 7 are SP
Batters
35-38 - 5
30-34 - 44 (17 are 30)
This isn't great for batters and terrible for pitchers, and I'm seeing this across multiple saves. I don't ever sign any players past arbitration because its not worth it. The vast majority of players crap out before age 30, so no point signing anyone to massive 8 year contracts. If anyone has a suggestion I'd love to hear it. I've tried TCR down to 50 and it doesn't make much difference.
I just looked at 2 test leagues that have about 100 seasons each with default dev settings except aging target age much older, and both leagues have a way better age/overall rating distribution, so I have no idea. Maybe leagues sort themselves out after 30 or 80 years. No idea.

Did you try raising the TCR? As far as I understand it outside of the Development lab, TCR is the only way players can gain potential.
So while a high TCR can decimate players, it can also turn them into superstars.
Also overall ratings even with 100% scout accuracy doesn't tell the full story for players, specially with pitchers where two can be rated the same overall but have a +2 WAR projection difference between them.
How have the league results changed? If all the pitchers have turned to crap, has offence exploded? Have your Auto-cal modifers gone insane to keep up with it?
Otherwise if you're just basing the issue off lower displayed ratings then it's not really an issue, you just like inflated ratings.
