Yeah I have. If you take like all your stamina and pump it into upgrading your pitches, you will see a better results after a year of playing than trying to use the program. Now, is the program faster? If it succeeds? Nope not even comparable. But on a prospect that had 80 stamina, I took all of that out in the dev sliders and throw it in his curveball that was a 30/60 and by the end of the year that 30 was a 50. However, once again... it does depend on work ethic, intelligence and however much you are spending on dev.
Say your player has
FB 50/75
SL 45/45
CB 40/75
CH 45/70
SN 45/75
And you run secondary pitch... This is what you will get:
While it's difficult to measure the exact changes specifically due to his time at the facility, here is my best estimate:
Potential changeup stuff improves by 5
Current changeup stuff improves by 5
Your Development Complex Director
So you get a whole 5 points (even though over the 5-6 months of the program) the changeup went from 100 points to 137 but in the time of the season and putting 100 points on developing a pitch, you will see a HUGE jump. Also, the program will pick a random pitch if you have like 5 pitches to improve so, yeah, only difference is you might see a 5 point potential improve which is very minor, but overall using the dev sliders to develop your pitches worked much better and faster.
