Players falling off a cliff

Not literally...

I've had this happen in my current game to two different players. Yoenis Cespedes towards the end of my first season went down to a one-and-a-half star player. He was hitting pretty well yet his ratings just crashed for no reason - there was no injury.

OK, veterans can sometimes regress very quickly. But the one that really annoyed me was Rafael Devers. He's one of the top prospects in real life and when I got him he was half star current / five star potential. I called him up half way through the season due to injuries.

I noticed a couple of months later that he wasn't hitting that well, he was around the .200 mark but I just chalked that up to being a young player. I then check his profile and he's suddenly a one star current / one star potential player! One of the best prospects in the game turned into a career minor leaguer in a few months!

How exactly is regression/progression calculated? Of course prospects won't always pan out and some older players will get worse quickly but come on... the above two examples are ridiculous.
