Just realized that because players 1+ day into decline didn't have their ages scaled at all, that they've now been accelerated much farther into their decline than normal.
That is, a player who was "1 day into decline" yesterday (age 561) is suddenly "2 seasons plus 1 day" into decline today... i.e., he had 2 seasons of decline added overnight. Basically you're either in plateau still, or you're at -15% or more to major attributes... there are no longer any players in all GLB that are in their 1st or 2nd season of decline.
For example, I had a player entering his 2nd season of decline who I was still planning on using this upcoming season for one last run (he played really well in Pro last season even though in decline)... but now he's going to be entering his 4th season of decline instead due to the APD changes, and the stat hits are just so massive at that point... gotta retire instead.
Don't know if this was intentional or an oversight, just raising it as something to be aware of. I'm not losing any sleep over it.
