There will be a "low" limit potential (strong for example) or is possible to see some drafted players with potential lvl 20?

If this potential level is too low soon on the market we will see a lot of bad players

This idea is not bad I've still to understand better the impact on the teams and on the market. I would prefer to put a "talent" instead of potential, it means that a talented 18 years old drafted can grow more quickly than others. This is a suggestion for the future as I suggest zero/one/two/three time per season a random pop in a skill that you don't train depending on your average coach level. Coming back to the potential it's also important to know the difference between before max lvl and after max lvl, if the players will need one week more to have a pop this is imho a good news (it's similar to my talent suggestion), if these players will have a pop one time every 10 weeks, I don't like this news

Will potential be able to change through his career? Surely there are players at first that were thought to be ok but turns out to become a great player later on in his career.

All of your players have potential = "all-star" (3).
Only 20% of the players in the draft are that good (or better).
So most of the young ones in the draft are below the middle of the list.

That's what it says!

That is resonable, considering that we get 4 players from draft and by my matematic you have almost a chanse to get 1 of 4 with a good potential,

Thats is enough I think,

We all get 3 players

OK so you have 65% to get 1 player with good potential

hope some BB can give us more details, or at least answer some of this questions before draft

I think the change of the draft system is intressant, but i don't like the potential ...

Isn't it so that we allready got something like potential? If i got an draft with good center skills, but a small body he is limited in comparison to a higher center but now if he all star and the ther is bench warmer there are 2 potentials who work against ...

It's allready difficult to explain newbies, what they should look after when they start training, but with these change i think training becomes more mysterious then its allready is.

PS: You could also took the age as potential number 3 who infekt training speed

PPS: potential number 4 was the other skills who infect the training of a skill ...

This is a big change and I think that more informations should be provided. Here is a list.

Concerning the draft:
- is the position played related to 'best position', to height or just random? I guess it is the first, but I would love it to be the second. I wouldn't like to draft a player with good starting skills as center but too short to be trained in that position.
- Still no information about the AGE? It shouldn't be difficult for a scout to get that info.
- The box score does not provide any information about defensive skills (the ratings is strongly influenced by the stamina level). I realize this is not a question :)

Concerning the potential:
- How limiting is the potential??? I guess that even a 'bench warmer' can train effectively for at least a season, otherwise the will be just dead meat.
- Is the skill cap the same for EACH skill? Or, for example, I can have a center that barely goes above average passing but can go as high as tremendous in IS?
- If our current players are all 'all-stars'... when should we expect this cap to show?

I hope you can clarify at least some of these issues :)

But I want to know more about the 'potential' before saying that I do not like it :)
