Prospect development

Kazmir84 · 04-02-2005, 11:30 PM

I play in an online ootp league and i've noticed a lot of prospects who just for some reason don't develop. Is there a reason for this and is there some way to "jump start" their development.

Thanks

Is your league using coaches or have they been turned off?

Kazmir84 · 04-03-2005, 12:36 AM

Coaches are turned off.

Steve Kuffrey · 04-03-2005, 01:31 AM

How long is the time you are talking about observing this?

Kazmir84 · 04-03-2005, 03:51 PM

Well the league has been going on for some time. We are in the year 2009 and we started in 04. While we always had some "flops" i've noticed that since around 07 and 08 a lot of prospects just don't develop. They have awesome ratings but they just don't develop at all. I think this could be because coaches are turned off. Anyone else have an idea why?

Might be obvious .. but you could check into the league settings for player developement. Some leagues choose to give these a little bump.

Unless he's the commish, I doubt he can get under league settings.

DougWyatt · 04-04-2005, 05:56 PM

By "check into" .. I meant for him to look into it. Asking the commish what the developement settings are may be a start

Vris · 04-04-2005, 06:14 PM

Well, I didn't want him to try and hack the password so he could get into it.

But yeah, I know what you meant.

Kazmir84 · 04-04-2005, 07:24 PM

I will look into it but the settings were never changed and i've only noticed this probelm recently.

The player development is set at

hitter 11%
pitcher 11%

and the aging at

hitter -11%
pitcher -11%

Kazmir84 · 04-05-2005, 09:33 PM

Ok those are them. Can anyone offer input?

cactus · 04-06-2005, 10:36 PM

what are the settings most people use for player development?

I'm only in a couple leagues, but from them & reading posts here; it is my impression that most leagues which run near 50% hitter & pitcher developement achieve MLB-type player developement.

some players just dont develop to their full potential. it happens, and you can usually tell who it will happen too. if your player is 24 or 25 and not near his talent ratings, even though he may be a 4 or 5star spect, you know right there he will never reach his potential, and will be a bust.

Have you noticed this from a particular age group? It seems to take forever for teenagers to develop. Usually players don't start seeing really good development until their young 20's (21 to 23?)

I've found after playing nearly 50 years of a solo league that although there will be a good degree of flops there are also a lot of 1st rounders that eventually pan out some later than others. Also I have seen some late round guys gets talent boosts or just play above there ratings. In the end things seem to balance. This is one of the reasons I like to play with ratings hidden it just makes the game more enjoyable.

Did you convert from v5 to v6? If so, during what league year? I know the conversion absolutely killed a bunch of my pitchers in the otbl.
