i disagree if the system i suggest can be implemented or half implemented without having it exploited it would great to have and it would be realstic as in real life its not random has it is in the game you don't see pitchers in real life just all of a sudden have a new pitch they practice it and they learn it from someone . not maybe this system can be put fully into place until it can be coded so no one can exploit it in the way that is suggested but i think it would be great feature to have and as i suggested not all would learn the new pitches or positions that would be random to a point but based of many factors that you as a gm wouldn't be able to exploit so easily unless u were a commish . by having different factor involved that a gm cant change then you don't have this exploited as easily as its not set in stone that if u try to teach a new pitch or position that they will learn it

I much prefer the way it is now where it is random. Infinitely more realistic and keeps the league balance.
If this was implemented, it would be so abused it won't even be worth playing in online leagues anymore and would destroy leagues as people would turn all the great relievers into starters. And it is just not realistic.
As it is now, you can "assume" all pitchers are working on learning new pitchers so there is no need to "teach" them since they, by default, are already trying to learn.
Besides, OOTP 13 has Improved pitcher creation & development (per the newsletter). OOTP 13 creates fewer pure relievers for the draft. More pitchers are generated with the potential to become starters. Not all pitchers will capitalize on their potential, though; failure to develop an off-speed pitch or build stamina may necessitate a move to the pen.
If this feature is implemented well, there would be no need for the system soadeathdealer suggests.
