OOTP Baseball talk:Important Game Concepts/The Player Model/Player Positions and Roles

I don't see the information I submitted earlier concerning learning defensive positions in games with historical players and recalc. If it is thought there are errors in what I wrote, let's discuss so I can correct them.

Yes, there error is, each time the player is recalculated, anything not on that players data point, will be reset. So, if the player only played LF but you trained them into CF, that next off-season CF will be removed because they did not know CF in that given year. Now this DOES work if you are using the development engine only, but each season, 3 years or 5 years (Depending on your recalc settings) anything that the player did not know in real life, will be removed, so that is why I removed that part from the Wiki, because it is not how recalc and position ratings work. Same with any development that happens (If the development engine is being used in conjunction to recalc) as soon as the players are recalculated in the off-season, all increases or decreases in the players ratings are reset to the recalc datapoint in the database.
