Important stats stuff is secondary, it doesn't sell the game.
In all seriousness, we shouldn't even bring this up. Should have been priority #1 from the get go.

Did you read what Markus wrote? He has been diligently working on this and has not found a solution and still hopes to get the game to reproduce real life. He just has not succeeded yet.
1. That means this did not have to be brought up for the devs to know about it. They knew about and are in the process of working on it.
2. From the sound of Markus' post it is a high priority. Just because a high priority or even #1 priority does not mean it gets fixed quickly. Somethings like imposing human judgment on computer coding are hard to do. Some problems are going to take more time to design a fix and still end up trial and error when your idea does not work.
3. Markus' posts indicates the situation is not we are too busy with our things to deal with the problem. This is not the only issue in the game and not the only thing people are requesting and IMO it is likely the hardest request to fix.
4.Devs work as teams so the fact someone is working on baseball cards does not mean the fact ER rules do not replicate real life has been dropped. You, I, nor Markus has seen a satisfactory result yet. So patch that do fix other problems that can be solved more quickly get released rather than waiting for the bigger problem to be solved.
I would like to see this perfect too but we have to realize in an engine as complex as OOTP this is not easy and it may take some time. Honestly, OOTP has responded to more request than other game I have played. OOTP and Paradox seem to be the two best companies I know at fixing problems and updating their games. Although, I wonder if paradox would do this if the very active mod community was not often fixing their problems and getting involved in beta testing. No game is error free but OOTP has made sure the errors do not make the game unplayable for most people. Some companies don't care that you bought the product and found it lacking. They might make it more realistic in an expansion, a certain company I have some games from, or next year. OOTP has not taken the route of well you thought our game sucked? For only $10.00 or $20.00 more you can get your complaints fixed in the new expansion that fixes all the bugs and issues with playability the original had and introduces 100 more that we will address in the next $20 expansion.
