I concur with what Steve and Henry said in the thread.

Fictional league player composition will be pretty constant from league to league. Since the third-party roster sets are not based on the internal programming routines in OOTP but rather based on human-made judgements, the rating distribution of ficitonal league and roster league will often not match up well at all.

For fictional league league-wide rating distribution over time, I have already touched upon the subject in my league-wide rating level study for v6.01. (Look for section (4) and (5) for "Year by year ability/talent rating level summary") For what league-wide rating level distribution looks like, you can also try to read my two rating level studies for v6.01 and v6.03. In short, it has been shown that the rating level distribution of ficitonal league do not change a lot over a long period of time. The rating level is pretty consistent from year to year.

For long-term rating level stability of the custom-made roster set, the roster maker can try to match up the rating level distribution in the roster set with the ficitonal league rating level distribution. This way, the new players (draft class) generated each year can easily integrate into the existing league perfectly - in terms of raitng level. This is another reason why I would recommend roster makers to read my studies on rating level distribution. I personally has made a roster set (CPBL 2004 roster set) and I have tried to 'normalize' the rating distribution so that it will resemble the fictional league rating distribution. I will have to confess that I have not done the long-term test of my roster set, so I have no idea if this will help the long-term stability rating. In theory, however, it should help.

I also strongly echo Henry on necessity/requirement to have any study/analysis to be done with ficitonal league simulation setup. This way, we won't be seeing the effect of the human interference. To put it another way, the experiement is not done with contaminated samples.
