Historical game service time issue
I've found that when you start a new historical game it has an issue with service time. Looks like players recently drafted or signed as IFA are defaulted to 4 years of pro time.
Starting a 1993 historical game, players who drafted June 1993 are in game already (because of draft structure) but they start as Rule 5 eligible day 1 because they have 4 years of service time already. Lots of IFA too.
The free agent pool at end of season gets loaded with young stud prospects because teams couldn't get their 40 man clean.
