It has been well documented by several users that players are not developing as they should or even used to. After several seasons, the league just gets to a point where there is very little variation from player to player -- most are simply average.
Does this mean that some players won't end up with good seasons or even careers? No. That's RNG for you.
But to keep pretending that player development is not broken doesn't help anything. The developers have been having problems with this the past two seasons since the introduction of the dev labs, and it's unclear if they are going to continue working on it or not, but they really should, because player development over years and even decades is one of the most interesting things about games like this.
