Players developing way too quickly/young

[zasman213]

I noticed this in the Beta version and figured it would go away with the official release, but it hasn't. Has anyone else noticed that players are developing way too quickly?

I'm seeing way too many players like this. Guys who aren't even 20 yet and their ratings are already fully developed.

Yep, pretty persistent problem throughout the release. The mean age of my offense is like 22. There's not a single guy over 26. This is during the 2027 season.



Batista just turned 19, he made his major league debut at 17, he entered as a 16 year old as an international FA, and by the time he was 17 he already had pretty much fully developed tools. Padilla, Espinal, Carpaccio, Ramirez, and Villalba, all debuted at 18.

Here's Batista:

is this a new the league started with the patch? It should have fixed it if not, and if you're playing a pre beta league with the new patch added in, you'll still have some leftover prospects that will show up like this.

Oh man, so any existing players in the league are unaffected and will speed develop still post-patch?

I just started a new season (year two of the 23 universe) with the newest patch installed. I can only wish prospects developed quickly. I need pitching help now and my best prospects are in the low minors about to start their second seasons. I'm seeing development at the speed I've been accustomed to in the previous versions.

Yes, from my sim so far, this seems to be the case. I have a lot of guys in my lower minors that I traded for, and they're all developing like crazy, and I'm basically forced to trade away the talent I have on the major league roster because I'm just so stock full of fully developed 18-20 year old 3-5 star ballplayers stuck in the minors.

Again, my mean age is 22.8 years old right now on the MLB roster.

No. They'll stop developing fast and will develop normally but any fast development that happened already is baked in.

i thought it is all based on your DEVELOPEMENT settings that you choose at setup

Ah ok, that's what I had assumed. Can't reverse time but as long as it corrects going forward while in a current sim, that's cool.

And you can look back fondly on MLB’s “genetic engineering” era in several years, whilst the debates rage on in the league newspaper about whether any of these abominations should be HOF eligible LOL

Haha. Tremendous point!
