'''Tips and Tricks''' - having good coaches, players with positive personalities and good morale, and even a player's younger age could possibly give a slight bonus at getting better outcomes.

	~~===Prior Version Functionality===~~

	In previous versions a player could start Spring Training games at an unrated or low rated position in the same category as one of his rated position and experience a substantial rating gain. An example is an outfielder playing games at an unrated outfield position.

	With the introduction of the Development Lab, this functionality has been greatly reduced in some situations. Previously substantial gains were possible any time development was set to ON even if recalc was also ON. Now with recalc, even with development on, there are only minor gains in Spring Training.

	~~Setting the Development Lab to OFF does not restore prior version functionality with recalc and development both set to ON.~~

Brad K: Added information on prior version functionality.
