1. A few more younger players going right into the majors (but just a few, don't get too carried away)
2. More veteran players calling it quits after they begin their decline, but before they are completely worthless
3. Have the decline arc stay the same, but have it less significant during a season, and more significant during the off-season. (And, have older guys who get injured risk the chance of a more severe ratings drop off)
The whole time I've felt that the numbers were probably close to being realistic (which apparently they are) but that something was a little off in the way we made it to the numbers. I still feel that way. The game does an incredible job of getting accurate results, however, I think it could be slightly tweaked in the above ways to make it get to the same place in a little better way.

Great post.
The most important thing is that the game needs to be
unpredictable, yet realistic. If the curve of player development and decline is too predictable, the game becomes too easy. If it is too unrealistic, then the game's quality suffers. The curve itself needs to be variable, within reason.
