I see the same thing all the time. If they're on reserve, players can experience an increase in their ratings, but it seems rare and insignificant. The AI doesn't seem to care much anyway. The player might be activated and made a backup, but that's hardly what I would call development. Players with good potential seem to go absolutely nowhere if they're on reserve for multiple seasons. Many of them just give up on their careers. And that is one of the reasons why I was so vocal about asking for minor leagues for historical play without the fictional players.
