I haven't had that problem, I've simmed through and actually had some issues were some of the OLBs and DE were breaking Strahan's record :P so they were progressing the max.

That is rare though, on the whole the simmed stats have been pretty good aside from slightly low QB ratings/tackle numbers.

Sounds like you were unlucky, which is a good thing (that players can have off years).
