Yes, after 20 years of playing with recalc, I became a convert and started using the development engine with historical minors. Otherwise, you don't really get to see how those "what if" players might develop differently. If you use recalc, then you can still seem some interesting cases, but they're just temporary.

However, I am debating whether I want to keep development turned on during the season. I've been using it that way, but it leads to a lot of small and annoying adjustments from month to month.

I suppose that it helps simulate the ups and downs that players can have during a given season. But it's really annoying when a player is having a great month and suddenly loses a bit of contact, stuff or control, for no apparent reason. Then he'll regain it in another month. Of course, it's nice when a player improves for a while and benefits a team that you're managing. But, overall, it seems a bit pointless at times, or it's not tied enough to a player's performance for my preferences.
