I think I've found the issue.
When the file was created we had 2995 players on the file. Not even three years later we're down to 2004 players. Here's how the losses break down:
Total: -991
90+ Overall (2.2%): -21.8
80-89 Overall (13.3%): -131.8
90+ Peak (7.9%): -78.3
80-89 Peak (33.2%) -329
So basically every team has lost at least 1 90s player, 4 80s players, 2.5 top prospects and 10 average to above average prospects. I'd imagine have to drop over 500 players across the board would supersede much of the player development model Clay has spent the past decade+ working on.
I'm currently simming our original file 20 years into the future (so no players will still be around or effective enough to draw any conclusions) to see where the total player population is at that point. Until then I'm not sure we draw too many conclusions about sliders, etc.
