Could we perhaps have potential renamed to skill cap potential or max potential.
This user has asked but many do not ask and I believe they just assume that potential means the player will train better or play better. Its very confusing to many.


Agreed. I've seen newer managers overspend on high potential players that are crappy in skills and older in age because they think a 27 year old HOF 51 TSP guy is better than a 55 TSP 18 year old Role player

yadda yadda yadda, many examples like that

I think potential is an accurate description, because it tells you what he could be, but doesn't have to be currently. Maybe more focus can be laid on the necessity of proper training to make use of the potential, because I also see many managers just buying a lot of young players, hoping they will improve naturally with age.

That's what I encounter when I contact managers for U21 players. The situation you describe happens too I believe, but I think if the concept of training (it's more effective for younger players) is clear, that problem will partially be solved too. I do believe some managers will be confused by the term potential, and think it's more than it is, but I don't think a change in the name is necessary because it's accurate. Some additional explenation might be good though, to make clear it's just that, potential and without work it's worth nothing (like in real life).

If any player intends to have some level of success, they probably need to read the game manual.

Potential: While all players can improve their skills with training, not all have the ability to become superstars. Potential acts as a soft cap on player skill. When the player's skills reach the maximum their potential will allow, their training will slow down considerably, but will not become zero

Seems pretty straight forward to me.

Yeah nobody reads a game manual unless you force them to, or incentivize it.

Like, "Read the game manual, pass a quiz on it, and get 50K" Then people would read it.
