In the end this is somewhat cosmetic. Even if you have a bunch of top rated guys, the league modifiers will keep the league at a normal stat level. What happens is players become more equal in ratings in your league not everyone is hitting 70 HRs a season and batting .400. If you lower the PCMs you still will be flooded with the top talent for that PCM because of all the feeders. Instead everyone has slightly above average or average ratings instead of being scouted as stars.

I don't think there is a way to lower the percentiles of top players, eg. only .5% of players will achieve the highest ratings per you PCMs instead of say 2%. What you would want is to make more players come out lower on the scale. Essentially skew the distribution. Make the low end tail fatter, shift the middle of the "bell" curve left and make the high end tail lower.


the big question then: Is this possible?
