Right now, the pitchers are rubbish and I knew they were rubbish the instant I saw the development report. IMO, it would be better and more realistic if I wasn't notified of their massive talent hits and I was forced to hold onto them year after year hoping/waiting for their ratings to catch up to the talent levels... only they never will. Then I would have a much more realistic choice to make... continue holding on to see if they'll ever reach their potential or release them and hope they don't get picked up and develop into the player I thought I drafted, but never materialized. This method would also save me the frustration I feel right now as every pitcher under the age 25 with a 6 or better rating has experienced a 1 to 4 point drop (using the 1-10 rating scale). It unrealistic for me to instantly know a player is now worthless and frankly it did and has caused me to quit playing the game (outside of online leagues).
I agree with this completely. Talents should never drop, only ratings.
