Long story short "Development focus" is probably the wrong name to use for this feature. Its confusing people.

That is a great hypothesis. Based on Will’s comments I think that was the intent. Over many seasons there is no evidence that happens, certainly not at any rate that should deter anyone from doing it. Entire organizations (approx 75% in my case anyway) with zero in the speed bar should be noticeable.
What could be confusing is that there are so many “notches” in the bars, especially if it is really a ratio. That is 100% visual fluff. In ratio terms, if you think of it as:
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 - this is balanced
2 2 0 2 1 0 0 - this is how I set it up, as extreme as possible. Not with one player, with an organization. Zero (min) doesn’t give a noticeable penalty and 2 (max) doesn’t give a noticeable bump.
Those with faith it works or are happy that you can’t really deviate a players outcome with focus think this is good I guess. For those who do like this, don’t use the lab, because while daily focus or ignorance over many seasons might help turn a final editor number from 420 to 425 (if I want to believe) the lab can turn 420 into 460+ in one offseason.
Personally I think daily focus should have more impact. Positive and negative.
