I'm afraid the ball is still going to be up in the air on this, at least for a while. The patch released yesterday only re-establishes 1.000 as the 20th-21st century norm for these variables (we hope). One thing I can tell you; you would have to set aging at <1.000 according to this from the game guide:
"Pitcher Aging Speed
This modifier affects the speed with which players lose their pitching skills as they age. The lower this modifier is set, the more slowly players will lose their skills as they age. So, a modifier of.500 would result in players maintaining their pitching skills much later in their careers. A modifier of 1.500 would cause players’ pitching skills to drop much earlier in their careers."
And you would have to go the other way with development:
"Pitcher Dev. Speed
This modifier affects the speed with which players’ pitching skills develop. The
lower this modifier is set, the more slowly players will develop their pitching skills.
So, a modifier of.500 would result in players developing pitching skills much more
slowly. A modifier of 1.500 would cause players to develop pitching skills much
more quickly."
You should test these settings in your league, simming 10-20 years or so, and without signing on as a GM so that you are not interrupted by messages. Note the results, tweak, and sim again until you get the results that you want. Then start the league for real.
