Yes. I do agree with that. There are many things that I don't want to know about, ever.

But that’s where I was wondering if it was basically just random on how their ratings develop (if you don’t recalc, that is, nor have a player development budget- which you don’t in historical transactions), or if for example doing things to help them succeed, could then possibly boost their ratings/potential or at least bridge the overall to the potential.
Ah, that reading from the player development part of the manual was very helpful. Thanks!
Looks like there are definitely things you can do (or not do) to affect how a player develops

I haven't played with Historical Transactions enabled yet. I don't know if I ever will...I mean, maybe I'll try it with a test saved game, but for right now, I prefer 100% alternate reality. Although, now that I think about it, it might be very fun to play with Historical transactions turned on if I started with a team like the 1994 or 1995 Yankees and see how well I can do with the squads that real dynasty had. Hmmm...That does sound like a good idea for some point in the future.
