i think it's relative to talent in the league - at a new year or whenever it's re-caclulated. if that's wrong, go ahead and ignore what i wrote. it will work in a similar and consistent fashion as the absolute scale.

I believe you're right about it being relative to the talent in the league, but why do you say that's a problem? On the 20-80 scale, a 50 is always going to be league average. That makes it easier to tell how a player should perform (if the ratings are accurate) at a certain level.
This is why sometimes when a rating goes up or down, a player's skills didn't actually change, but the level of talent in the entire league did, making that player's skills a little better/worse compared to the entire league.
