Perception is reality though. What is the incentive for GMs of bad teams in online leagues to stick with the league if they know more successful teams have the ability to max the development budget and whether due to that or not the successful teams have some good development luck while the struggling team with average or worst development budget does not see its prospects develop.
Whether or not the dev budget has any bearing on those successes or failures, people will assume it does and there could be a rash of GMs quitting leagues since they have no hope in turning the franchise around. This happens now and I think it will only get worse.
