I was surprised at how the AI set up the development sliders. I use a 10 point rating system and it seemed like the AI generally chooses to work on topping up the top skills than work on areas of weakness. The one exception I noticed is if I switch a young player's position, suddenly the AI will shoot up the defence slider.

Another thing I was surprised to see consistently is the AI choosing to go below the middle line for fastballs on many pitchers, and focusing on other pitches. I was worried that I'd lose fastball stuff.

I decided to set the development sliders myself for my major league roster and key players in the system, including top prospects, going against what the AI suggested.

It was a mistake. Come the next development report, a lot of guys lost ratings. I was shocked how many and was disappointed with the outcome. Fearing that this would happen again, I just decided to turn everything over to the AI. I haven't reached the next month in swimming but will see what happens.

What are peoples' thoughts on properly setting up the development sliders? This isn't a large sample size, I know, but I was shocked at the result.
