Off-season progression issues?

[sccavs64]

In my Association with the Wizards, I traded Arenas for the number 1 pick in the offseason during the draft, got Harrison Barnes from UNC. He was an 83 overall with an A+ potential, but 2 seasons later, he hasn't improved one point in overall in either of the 2 seasons. What gives? John Wall gained 4 overall points after his rookie season, so why won't Barnes improve? anyone have any ideas?

some people have found that POT doesn't really affect progression. it relates to trade value instead. guys will progress based on how they perform primarily - like wall in your season.

- was this a custom draft class or a 2k generate version?

- What were the player's stats looking like?

yeah progression just means how good they can be not how good they will be. I had a player with great potential 88 i think but he was a 67 overall so only got about 11 minutes per game year one i hoped by year two i could start him but after 1 year no progression so i sent him to the d league so he can progress there without me having to start him cuz he sucks but after being in the d league he still sucked.

Just like in the real nba there are players drafted for "potential " but never end up being good

IMO this problem with the potential rating is probably one of the biggest issues that should be addresed in the patch when it comes out. I was trying to build a 1979 roster with draft classes for the 80's, but it seems imposible to build a player with his real rookie rating as he never progresses during the offseason; this issue seems to happen with all the CAPS in association no matter how much playing time. I don't want to end up building a 99 rated rookie jordan, bird or magic in a draft class to deal with this offseason progression issue.

Barnes is my starting SG, plays about 35-40 minutes a game. Hell of a season in his first year, 19.5 ppg, 7 assists per game, won rookie of the year. Is progression in any way related to coaching? it would make sense, but also wouldn't describe why Wall was improving while Barnes wasn't. Barnes has all of the tools he needs to progress but its just simply not happening and its frustrating

oh and btw it was a draft class i downloaded off 2k share, i may go back into the draft to look at the other players and how they have progressed. has anyone else been noticing this with custom classes? maybe its just a little glitch?

J.Wall = 2ksports/VC created player

H.Barnes = create a player (you will actually have to use training camp for these guys in the offseason.
