Now im going to get "Not everyone can be a mike trout or bryce harper buddy", But that is not what Im looking for. I am just looking for substantial growth passed the capped 4 to 5 point attribute gains. The older players are still declining at arapid rate but young players progression has been toned down. The only difference is the older players are not declining during spring training anymore. Now if I am correct most people were complaining about older player regression and not young player progression, so why did they completely eliminate the latter and just tweak the prior?!?! Now I have only done one test franchise so it might be a fluke. If anyone has any proof to counter this, PLEASE it would be greatly appreciated. Needless to say if not I will be playing with pre patch update if I am correct.

I think you're mostly looking at B and C (which make up the majority of prospects) rated players development because they do not move ahead nearly as quick as A rated potential players. I noticed that depending on what kind of A potential the player is (A+,A,A-), he'll move up faster as well. I wouldn't worry about it man I think the system is a lot more variable then people think. I've seen players regress differently from different franchises, and this was pre-patch.
