The development mechanism was great for its time, but is now obviously flawed at a deep level, and makes it difficult for the game to truely model human beings.
Hitters who make the majors are as well done in v2007 as they ever have been in OOTP (and maybe as well done as OOTP's mechanism will allow), but still have a few oddities. Pitchers are still flawed. Players who don't make the majors are often pretty far out of line. The entire player creation process in v2007 and before is just flat-out wrong, and doesn't help. Can't speak for v9, of course.
The baseline OOTP model is not _massively hard_ to fix--though it would certainly time-consuming. I've written about a gazillion papers on this, and will leave them to speak for themselves, though. "Fix" is the wrong term, of course. Ultimately, for things to work well the entire model of how development happens under the hood needs to be removed and replaced with one that mor properly follows how humans develop.
