Thanks Twins. Found that helpful and will check out your videos. I did figure out today that my severe development issues was indeed due to not manually handling the development focus for each player… my fixation on the development lab was because the lab could partially compensate for my issues.
It turns out that assigning your assistant GM to handle development focus can be really bad. I thought that the assistant GM’s preferences would mostly affect trade evaluations. Turns out my “speed and defense” minded assistant GM was jamming up defense and running on ALL my players. Prospects weren’t developing the traits that would help them move up causing them to stall in low A, and their potential in the traits sacrificed for the running and defense would steadily drop causing their overall potential to drop. It’s like my “speed and defense” assistant GM thought I wanted to develop every player into a leadoff hitter. Pitching wasn’t much better… turns out the reason I had such a hard time developing a reliever with decent control was due to my assistant GM constantly sacrificing control for reliever stamina.
Funny that I never noticed the age 27 defense decline, because the jacked up defense focus was propping up D as all the rest of their traits dropped.
