That's not how it works IRL. Young players often outperform expectations, regress, then get worse again before settling into a better statistical representation of their talent. That talent still fluctuates more than observations suggest. I would say it is the rare superstar who shows linear improvement into their peak seasons. OOTP does a good job of representing player stat output but prior to TCR it was too easy to predict the few years around the junction of rise/peak/fall. Now you face a bigger dilemma both getting rid of and acquiring players in the junction range above.
