I always applaud Visual Concepts for trying something when they definitely don't have to. They're the only game in town. I enjoy the story they're trying to tell (I even enjoyed last year's). My problem isn't with the story, it's with the fact that your player's ability doesn't match the story they're trying to tell.
There are several people on the thread that are saying that there's a legitimate reason to keep you that low gimped because human players are THAT much better than the AI that an average human player will always outplay an AI controlled superstar. That shouldn't be the case.
If the narrative talks about you as being a great prospect, you should be rated as such, not the lowest skilled player in the league (which is exactly what you are).
Thanks so much for reading the piece and commenting! I really appreciate it!
