If you have all hall-of-famers and you have real ratings showing, they are all going to be really high. Some of those players will not perform well because of the competition, however.
The OOTP development engine will not nerf those players just because the average league rating is high. They will be subjected to whichever aging, development and talent randomness settings you have.
What will be affected, I believe, are any game created amateur drafts that league creates. The engine is going to try to maintain a generally average overall talent pool and high talent will likely mean poor drafts unless you adjust the talent creation modifiers. If players are entering the league through other means (i.e. importing historical players) this shouldn't come into play.

This is good and what I thought might would be the case with the amateur drafts. Appreciate the response! It's not a realistic league at all and I sort of expect to only play it for 20 - 25 seasons, and then either stop or just revert to playing with regular created players.
I have a hard time playing this game with a quick start and not wanting Billy Martin and John McGraw managing, and Babe Ruth and Josh Gibson playing.
