I know I do it, I have "Tank" Gomez whom is currently 2 star / 4 star potential (once 5 star potential), whom now is 28 or 29 years old. He's shown in the majors and AAA that he just isn't going to become anything great despite what his star ratings show. Yet for some reason I can't part with him after spending what feels like an eternity trying to develop him.
I am the same way...I even have to snap up a 28 yr old FA who has great, unfulfilled potentials...I KNOW he wont develop....but WHAT IF HE DOES??? It's like going to Vegas...the house always wins, but we still keep coming back for the "What if's"..
I bet psycologists would have a field day in any OOTP league forum!!
