Suggestion
Tweak the pitching development so that a player develops more properly and there are less severe drop-offs for older talents.

Reason
I know that RonCo mentioned that this would be a main priority for the next version, but I just wanted to mention it anyway. Currently, one can expect EVERY pitcher in the game to experience a severe drop-off in their STUFF. This really needs to change. Of course pitchers lose some stuff with age, but not this drastically. I regularly see older pitchers in OOTP2007 going from about 200 ks a season to 100ks. This is way too drastic. Look at Nolan Ryan and Roger Clemens. It just shouldn't happen. I hardly see any older pitchers in the current version. Let's see some Jamie Moyers, Greg Madduxs', and Roger Clemens'.

Priority
High.
