Questions for FM players
I played 23 with 4 different franchises. In each of them the entire league got progressively worse. MANY players with 75 speed in the draft and they never get faster. By year 7 each time overall team...

It's actually logical too. If there are too many star players, the ratings cannot grow because there is not enough ice time overall for them. It's the same with every team in leagues that have too many high quality players.
I had thought the same so I kept some plumbers on my minor league team. I saw no difference in growth
For me the difference is big. For example, it happens that a top 6 medium player goes from 58 to 75-78 rating in one year without playing an NHL or AHL game with him. As I said, it depends on how many high-quality young players I have in my squad. If there are too many from one potential, they grow very slowly
Thanks, i will try letting them cool their jets in the minors for a year or two. I have been moving anyone 70 or above to the AHL
I had decided to try that with my number 3 overall pick Defenseman. I just looked and after 40 games he is up to 82 from 76. Woo Hoo!
When I first noticed the problem I went the exact wrong way. I was piling up as much young talent and draft picks as possible and my teams were good, but not getting much better
