For example, it's not like Michael Bourn suddenly got fast because he worked extensively on it in the minor leagues. He was always fast but had to develop his baserunning abilities, contact, OBP, etc... before he made it to the majors (while still working on these things). Same thing with being a pitcher who can throw 96 mph. Plenty of guys in farm systems can do this starting out but it's the ones who develop their other pitches that have the most success. Also, no pitcher starts out throwing 84 mph in AA and then is throwing 98 mph by the middle of their MLB career. Bottom line, there are some attributes that you should either have from the start or not have at all. I love this mode and play it extensively but this is one major thing I would love to see improved for next year.

You hit it on the head my friend.

Our RTTS players shouldn't be a pile of dirt in every area. I like the idea of a role that gives a strength in a certain area.

Other than that, I think the biggest thing that needs to be improved in RTTS is the point system and goal system. I HATE how I get sent down for not fulfilling my goals when I don't get the at-bats or I am raking the ball all over the field and my other ratings are dropping so i need to stabilize them but I'm punished for not improving my drag bunt.
