The thing is, if you start a franchise that all go back to their normal positions, really strange

you guys are all freaking out over a stupid little letter. if someone has a c potential and is a younger player he can still reach a potential it all matters about the on field play. so dont have a mental fit if your favorite player has a c potential because he can still be an all-star player. so some older guys might have an a potential but if he has a bad season his potential will go down to a c or worse so you guys just need to relax.

In all my sims only time they get called up is to fill a position due to retirement or injury or trade. Multiple season franchises are tough because you will find Strasburg make 8 mil in AA not on 40 with 0 years MLB service time. Sim ahead a couple years and you will see tons of A prospects making millions of dollars not on 40 man rosters.

If these kind of issues can't be fixed, then gamers like most us (hardcore realists) will not have any use for playing the season past 2010 on this game.



Here's an exchange from the thread Russell_SCEA started regarding the player potential glitch:

So if the above is accurate, then potential is either static or else with every player who drops from say an "A" to a "B" due to performance...there would have to be exactly one player who rises from a "B" to an "A" based on performance. Seems more complicated than these guys would actually be able to pull off in regards to rosters, given the issues we have seen to this point.

That's not the point. I don't care about how my favorite players are rated. The problem is if guys are seeing Pujols dealt multiple times in one season, and Strassburg making $8mm a year three seasons from now in AA, then this is still completely fubar.

Is there documentation about this? Cause I keep hearing about it, but I've never seen it in my franchise yet.
Can someone take pictures put or put up a video.

I agree here. I don't think the excess number of A potential Pitchers in the Minors can be resolved with a roster update. I think it's a bug and they are looking for it.

The Roster update fixed what it could, the rest is likely a bug. The remaining star players that have incorrect (ie. Cano) potential ratings likely are owned by the fake minor league pitchers due to this bug.

To the thread author, thanks for the headsup post.

??? Zimmerman is an A, I just checked
