I'm using the default settings and, in fact, set Batter Dev Speed to .94 to try to create more realistic hitter development.

Is anyone else seeing this or is it a quirk due to my setup?
It has been an issue for a few versions now that the devs seem unwilling or unable to address or even recognise.

I remain convinced it happens through the fake stat lines created upon creation (or import for historical players), a fact that continues to be frustratingly elusive to prove despite much effort on my part.
