As far as I am aware - and, please, someone correct me if I am not - the best way to achieve this is by ticking up the PCMs. In other words, if you set them to say 1.1 across the board, your created fictional players should on average and in general terms improve by 10%.

But beware, from my experience this can have a fairly drastic effect. So two things I'd suggest you keep in mind:

1. don't go crazy - maybe like 5% (1.05) max, and probably less is better - until you see the effect it is having and then make some fine tuning changes,. Even then let me warn you it can get out of control real quick, so keep a close eye on it;

and

2. once you are happy with the general range observed in 1., consider manually making the Draft pool strength vary from year to year, so maybe have 1.01 settings one year then 1.035 then 1.02 or something like that, or even set certain elements EG pitching stuff high one year - this will give you some nice variety among your player pool.

Just my $0.02's worth. Good luck!
