Dev Lab for personality ratings

[tehsuigi]

With teams starting to provide mental health support in the last decade, I figure it's a good addition to the dev lab to improve the underlying ratings of a player as a short program. That way they're less immutable and we can make every player we want better.

Examples could be "Stress Management" for handles losing and winning, "Affirmations" for adaptability and handles change, "Leadership Course" for leader ability, "Video Room" for baseball IQ, "Financial Management" for financial ambition, and so on.

You could also have an earlier version before, say, 2010 or 2015, that's just "Manager Pep Talk" with a smaller effect.

i like the concept, from a standpoint of at least having an option, some lever as a manager to try and pull to rectify a psychological issue, recover from a poor loss or try and improve upon a character flaw.
I have a guy in my minors who but for a lousy work ethic looks like he could be a great ball player. We have a dev lab to try and improve physical abilities, why not have some avenue available as you suggest to have a go at trying to fix the problems or unlock the positive capabilities that exist above the shoulders.


Nice suggestion.
