You're treating defense like it's an afterthought when it's probably the biggest impact you can have with the lab. A few years of defense training in the lab can change a player's whole trajectory. And it's not limited to the "hard" trainings either, corner outfield and second base are medium difficulty and are hugely valuable trainings.
I don't need to mess around with the editor to see the impacts. If you need to go into commissioner mode and poke around to see what happens that doesn't count as a "palpable" impact to me. I'm telling you, the defense training and the secondary pitch training produce blatant, obvious results that can be seen in the coarse scouted ratings and in the play on the field. And those are both trainings that can be used on developed regulars. If you're worried about "successful outcomes on a player that has already reached their potential for control" then I'm going to say you are indeed using it wrong, why would you use control training on a guy who has maxxed out control? On developed players you should be using trainings that are impactful for developed players, like defense, strength/conditioning, or most of the pitching trainings. If you've been spending trainings on like Plate Discipline for guys with maxxed out Eye, no wonder you think it's just cosmetic.
