maddog7800 -> Question about Development (7/25/2007 4:22:50 AM)

Does anyone know if player development is purely a function of playing time, potential, peak age, and decline age? Or are other factors involved? The way I understand it from the XML file, a player has an "optimal" level (ML, AAA, AA, A) based on their age and peak year. If a player is at a higher level, their development is reduced because they are considered over matched. But what if that player manages to have a great season at that level? Does that offset the "over matched" consideration? I've always used the players' statistical performance as a guide for what level they should be at, but after reading through the XML, I'm not so sure that's a good indication. Are there any good indications of what level a player should be at, other than using strict age bins (<20 = A, 21-23 = AA, 24-26 = AAA, 27+ = ML, for example) or basing it on some kind of ratings bins? How do you all identify early peakers and late bloomers?
