I'm not totally sure I get this. These guys already proved they were not the players the scouts forecast them to be. But you want an artificial way to, again, make them legit top prospects? I suppose if optional but, if not, I wouldn't want this in my historical game.

Seems the development engine "on" gives them the opportunity to become what they "might have been" already.

I don't know? I get wanting to see those names come up as prospects to relive, like any historical season, things that happened. But to artificially give these guys skills they did not have (or at least never were able to deliver on the
hype) or an inflated chance to become good\star players seems... wrong?

Maybe it can be done without changing the way historical players come in now? You did say "(or have some optional data points in the core database)" . Does that mean you want a user have a choice to include or exclude?

Maybe I'm just not understanding?
