Do you have minor leagues or reserve rosters? If you have reserve rosters full of half star players, then that could explain what brings down the average. Not saying this is “best”, but I think 50 is being used more of a benchmark than an exact calculation.
Anyway, what your league is displaying is similar to MLB, in that most players are of similar caliber, while the superstars are light years above. In fact, this is how most (and I say most because I mean every that I’ve looked at but have not looked at all) leagues and conferences in real sports look. They don’t follow a normal distribution, with equal numbers above and below average.
Maybe in order to show this and “fit” all players on the scale in OOTP, the true average must be below the 50 benchmark. Even so, it shouldn’t, as the increments of 10 on the 20-80 scale represent a standard deviation and not actual quantifiable skill. I’d be interested to see if they adjust after the season starts and recalculate based on active rosters rather than whole organizations (active plus reserve or spring training rosters). Let us know!
