Can someone give me a clue why this guy didn't come closer to his projections. I'm especially curious why  his stamina didn't grow. Training was at 14M the whole tme.

You cant take your projections so seriously.  There's no way to be 100% accurate.  Poor coaching?  Poor training?  He's still pretty darn good. 

How often are projections inaccurate in the other way? Where a player overshoots his projections?

I agree here.The player is damn good. Makeup and playing time can also effect ratings advancement. It is curious to note that his ratings began to plateau when he went from reliever to starter. He's still a darn good starter and that should be his role. His ML pitching coach Chris Wooten since season 16 consistently is rated at 80 pitching and is always in bottom half or bottom third of all ML PC in your league. The may have been part of the problem.

Overshoot across the board - Never.  Unless they become a Diamond In The Rough. 

Overshoot 1 or 2 categories by 1 or 2 points - Sometimes.

That guy improved a lot.  A lot.  And $14 million is not much in training.   

Your guy has improved 10 pts in Stamina.  I can't see his projections, but 10 pts isn't bad for a guy with Stamina in the lower area for a starter.

I checked my 5 starters.  They improved 3, 17, 8, 13 and 9 pts from their original Stamina number.

The guy who improved 17 pts, has a Stamina of 90.  He's just a workhorse.

I have two guys with Stamina #'s around your guy's.  One of mine has the same rating as Jocko and another has slightly less.  They were the ones who improved 3 and 8 pts.

Your guy has grown just fine.

That's pretty good growth for 14m in training.

I thought training budget was just for injury prevention? or is the manual wrong in that regard
