I was curious enough to go ahead and look at the talent levels this year
80-84: 24->33->now 41
85-89: 15->14->now 18
90-94: 11->17->now 20
95+: Wade/Kobe/Paul/Lebron, has not changed.
Players are just progressing much faster... and more accurately probably for much longer than seems reasonable. They don't decline very fast on the backside. Tim Duncan is still rated over 80 at 37 years old, etc. Kobe is 35 now, he doesn't seem to have lost a single step in game, still rated 97 OVR.
Right now its still at the point where I can just adjust my valuations of guys since I know that 75 OVR isn't what it once was. But I'm only 5 years in, are we going to continue to see these numbers jump for another 5 or 10 years until there's a full cycle of auto generated players and progression in the system? Or is there some chance that it levels out before then? That's what really worries me, that 5 more years of increases like this and we might have like 5-10 teams in the league rated 99 OVR on the team pages.
Next season starts... whenever I feel like going through the power rankings and getting things going! We've made a jump in the rankings this year, hooray.
