Team Development lets Teams evolve over gameplay time. This quite clearly leads to Abstract Player Construct Development in the cases where these Teams are Abstract Player Constructs. In games where the team members are players, this may give a feeling of Togetherness.

Team Development affects both PvP and TvT gameplay regarding Team Balance. It can be used to both balance the powers of players within a team and balance teams against each other but this can be a fickle solution since Team Development can easily also emphasis existing imbalances.
