Completely agreed about players developing too fast.

RonCo did all of this testing and junk, about the OOTP career arc, etc. Once we get rid of this first generation of players, we can revert to those settings that has players developing slower and not having long, long careers. The settings were set to 1.000 across the board from the start of this league, I've changed that to .500 for development of players heading into next year, figuring that it'll halve the development curve and make things a bit easier to deal with moving forward for us.
