Without knowing how long they've been percolating for i would say yeah they're probs not going to be what they were,, that is if they ever REALLY were what you thought in the first place, or whether they were busts just waiting to happen.

I had one prospect early before i knew some of this stuff, who had regressed beyond repair. But i have some others who with some help from my Chat GPT advisor I've named 'Geep' who I used alongside my games when I have baseball or OOTP questions. With its help I did salvage one of my prospects I had unwittingly left to AI's devices...but GPT pointed out he had regressed in certain areas that had since capped out (reached max potential) and we needed to prioritise what we could fashion him into instead.

I have found good success teaching Chat GPT about my worlds and the rule-sets and settings and my game philosophy.. (i.e. I am not into min-,maxing - I don't want GPT to find the perfect thresholds under the hood).

My personal view - and i am 100% perfectly okay to be challenged on this, is that the most important and time consuming work happens the day the draft pool is released.. I kind of dread it coming up..because for me anyway I will not advance 1 day further until i have reviewed the pool, moved the first bunch 80-90 who by my eyes I think are are worthy of further scrutiny into various RED, YELLOW, GREEN categories. and i scout them.. only once I've done a full review of the pool will i advance a day.. Its all about getting that scouting accuracy very high for me to feel confident.
I'll also then converse with GPT about a bunch of my prospects.. to get its perspective (again I have been very clear with GPT about what I do want to discuss and know and what I want GPT to ensure remains fog of war).

I have with GPT produced some guides for helping with OOTP which I've posted here https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com/...d.php?t=365718

I might over coming weeks/months do something similar for player development, but I'm just not sure. I received some feedback on the guides I created so maybe, but my feeling based on overall lack of comment is there isn't much call for these things besides my dumb@rse self .
