Development speed

Kinsella19 · 10-22-2018, 02:04 PM

I know in OOTP there is an option to adjust how fast the players develop to their full potential. Is there any way you guys could add that to this game in an update? Or is there a way I can adjust this myself in the files of the game somewhere?
The development speed of prospects in this game is extremely slow, and way slower than it was in FHM3/FMH4 IMO. Any help would be appreciated.

In the File menu under setup/options you can change the player peak age and the physical peak age. Not sure how much this will help, but that's the closest option I see.

Changing the peak ages will have a very significant effect, although it'll take time for it to become noticeable. Move them down if you want faster development, although they'll begin to decline sooner as well.

I don't want them to decline sooner though.. Is there no way of changing development speed in the game files?

No, development speed is the product of a lot of different factors - development rates for individual attribute categories, hidden attributes like aging and coachability, and the player's specific circumstances (coaching, competition level, happiness, etc.) When we alter development rates internally, we have to take a lot of care to make sure we're not throwing any of that out of balance. It's not as simple as changing one number to make development faster or slower.

With the Peak age is that gonna be the case for all the players or could there be some players that might peak earlier/later?

It'll always vary significantly by player, the Aging hidden attribute is the biggest single factor in that. Changing the peak ages will just move the overall average peak forward/back.
