Shoot, I should have mentioned that those results were also with Development Target Age set to "Older"; I updated my post to note this.

So, I don't really think this is an issue tbh.

It doesn't look too bad now but I had to resort to some pretty aggressive modifiers to get to this point. Using default settings, I had players peaking at age 22-23 with no ramp up/development at all. I don't think that's how the development curve has ever looked.
I brought this up because I was surprised with the results I was getting and wanted to see if others were running into it. If it's just my setup causing janky results, I won't press it. But I do plan to continue tweaking settings until players are peaking later (26-27) as I believe that is far more realistic.
