There's a randomness to doing everything right to develop the player only for them to turn into barely above replacement level.
That's why we'll always need some sort of TCR
Your answer implies that there is no randomness to development. That means players will develop the same way in all saves without TCR. Is that true?

Why is there a discussion about TCR affecting potential ratings? fredbeene previously showed potential ratings don't affect future current ratings. I linked his thread recently.

Back to my original situation, why do we need TCR when normal game engine randomness already gives us performances that differ widely from real life?
