If we got rid of the Player Role function and instituted this instead I would be one happy camper

I agree completely. Mostly because it will prove less misleading for newbies who think buying an untrained 21yo with MVP potential is a good deal.

I'd like to expand the idea, so that well trained players below a certain potentail can experience an increase, to reward good training - that way bad potential players (and the draft is full of those) can become solid role players or even cornerstones of lower div teams.

Plus untapped players with high potential should retain their training speed, so even if sb. picks them up later in their career, we can still work with them.

I think potential shouldn't have word ratings. When inexperienced managers see the MVP potential, even if he's 23 with a 3k salary they think he's going to one day be an MVP. This wouldn't be a problem if his potential was just '10.'

Interesting, but how are you going to evaluate good training? The proposition of OP is quite simple, no pops or # of pops under a trigger -> potential drop. Your proposition gets into the field of subjective opinions IMO.


It would be pretty simple the other way around - but in the end maybe getting rid of potential or cutting the potential to just three or four groups (benchwarmer, sixth man, starter, star) would be a good idea.
