Chances are, a guy like Albert Pujols has maxed out his potential at his age. Will he improve? Maybe. Could he decline? Maybe. Guys like that should have C potential, because there isn't that much room to grow. Am I misunderstanding? Is saying a player has B potential just mean that the max he could reach as a player is having his rating bar filled 80-89%?

OK the problem with your suggestion is that if you ranked Pujols, for example, as an C potential player, then every year his stats are gonna decrease across the boards by 15. He is going to decrease until he is a C player.

For me...
David Wright is an F should be a B
Jose Reyes is an F...should be a B or an A

The main thing I hope for is this.
Fake players...about 30 A potential players...any more and that would be too many IMO.
Tough to say on the B guys...maybe 100-150?
Plenty of C's...and some D's and F's

David Wright should be a B? Don't you think he's as good as he's going to get? If he's at his highest point, he should be an F then, meaning he has no potential to develop further. That's the way I always read potential.

That is not the way SCEA reads potential however.

Yeah, my post is being drowned out by a ton.

potential rating also affects trade value, a player with a F potential rating have very low trade value. I can't trade Jose Reyes for a bag of peanuts because his potential is so low.
