Oftentimes there’s this quick reaction to pounce on an aspect of the game and ask the devs to altar that aspect before some critical thinking dealing with the OVR picture.

This actually works in favor of of another layer of the Team Managment decision making.
1) They use “Age” as a component of Regression.
- some POS start the regression around age 26.

If it’s one of those positions where age 26 is the cliff, you now must decide if 2 yrs is worth a draft pick, esp a high one, on a player who will hit that decline cliff faster than a younger lower rated player needing development.

You know how folks are enamoured with high OVR/ratings, so they think they hit it big by drafting that 24 yr old 83 OVR Power Back with a 1st Rd contract, not realizing he’s hitting that decline cliff in 2 yrs.
- ratings start to dip
- injury factor is increased
- etc...

Never mind that 21 yr old scouted 4th Rd RB, that could’ve been developed.

Again, another layer dealing with decision making.
I like it.

Another thing is this may be a way of cycling players out as 430 new players come in every new draft.
