Well, I've said this a few times in the RTTS thread, so I'll put it here.
I don't know if it would mean an entire revamp or what, but the progression system is broken in my experience. No matter what type of position player you set out to make, the game almost always requires you to become a power hitter.
But more to the point, you are forced to advance too quickly in the RTTS' that I've played. The problem comes from the advancement goals (which never go away, even if you're an multi-MVP in the majors, btw).
For example, if you miss your goals, you're punished not just by being sat down for a couple games or whatever, but by being demoted (either to a bench role or to a lower level). It never takes into consideration your role on the team, your overall abilities or the type of player you are. I made a speedy/leadoff type infielder and I am always told to hit at least one homer as one of my goals despite having no power. So, when I miss that, I get sent to the bench and have to spend the whole season trying to break back into the starting lineup I never should have been removed from, usually being told to hit a home run.
On the other side, should you reach you're goals, you're promoted far too fast. My player (by some weird move by the organization) signed me to a MLB contract as the starter despite not being anywhere near ready for MLB (played two AA seasons and had one decent year).
But because you're punished so severely for missing your goals, you have to reach them. And when you do, you're moved too fast. There is no time to develop. Or, you don't get enough training points to improve because you're on the bench.
Basically, there's no way to develop your player to be ready for the next level when you move up. And I understand that some players in real life are moved up to AAA or the majors before they're ready, but it's not often. It feels like there isn't enough development time for players and you're dominated when you move up too fast because of the goals.

Mine is completely opposite. It takes me forever to get called up and when I miss my goals I only get the warnings
