The 20-80 ratings in OOTP are not comparative like they are in real life, and won't automatically fluctuate with talent changes in a specific league. They might shift a little over time, but certainly not to the extent they would if they were using the real-life system where each ten points you move away from 50 represents a full standard deviation above or below average.
The OOTP scale is not the same as the real-life scouting scale, even when you use the 20-80 ratings. This isn't something that changed this year, it's never been the case, since whenever it was that we originally introduced the 20-80 ratings into OOTP.

Does this apply to both absolute and relative ratings?
