Basically, the overall (average) talent pool of the league (both on an individual and team basis) in year 1 should be the same as in year 8 or 10 or 12, etc.
I don't want to see all the teams in the league continually progressing nor do I want to see the defense, for example, progress faster than the offensive players. There should be a balance. Some teams should improve, some should decline, some players should get better, some get worse, but overall, maintaining an equilibrium of the league - otherwise, things won't be too pretty down the road.
Please have a look at this...EA doesn't get it, hopefully you guys do.
