In general, people need to stop jumping on the “OOTP is broken” bandwagon every time someone on Reddit posts some screenshots of a pretty spreadsheet.

I think it is fair to say that my testing is not precise, could use a larger sample size, and a better overall protocol. More or less, I am recording data as I play the game.
However, I have not claimed that OOTP is broken and I do believe my data is sufficient, verifiable, and repeatable for my basic thesis that: (1) absolute ability measured by ratings point drops from present day game starts; and (2) the talent-age distribution is changes dramatically and quickly.
I really love the game and just expected/hoped that the talent-age distribution level from the start of a new modern day game would persist better than it has. Your mileage may vary and that's okay too.
