Past performance should absolutely adjust a players "max OVR"

Why?

I'd like to see your study.

To be honest, I don't think you understand what potential is. Potential reflects future potential performance.

You want potential to reflect past results. That is not what potential is.

That is all I have to say about this subject.

Take care!

I've tested all of these things in the past, so I can tell you confidently that this system needs some fixing

Please share with me the findings of your study

@pbake12 said in I got a beef with the dynamic potential system:

Case study regarding number 1 and 2 could be Carlos Gomez. Terrible first 5 years of mlb, with high potential still, then made AS teams. Probably others, but first that comes to mind.

Barry Zito and Tim Lincecum could be examples of the inverse.

Alex Gordon also comes to mind.

I'm sorry, but I respectfully disagree with just about all of your points.

1. Players aren't "busts" because their potential stat reflects it. They're busts when their numbers stink over the entirety of their career.

2. Mountcastle struggling for 3.5 seasons into his major league career should not prevent him from making an All Star team some day.

3. Repercussions for poor play are seen on the field, not in the potential stat.

4. Let's assume your statement that, "at 28 a guy is just entering his prime usually for baseball," is a fact. If that is true, then at 28 your potential stat should be completely irrelevant. At 28, you no longer have potential. You are who you are. They will reach their peak performance now, or soon, will plateau for a year or so, then fall off.

Respectfully,

P&G

So, you say your unhappy with potential in this game.

You list some examples of low potential guys becoming All Stars and higher potential guys not planning out.

Then you conclude by saying you want more high potential guys to be busts and more low potential guys to be All Stars.

Sounds like you're getting what you're asking for.

Also, I dont think somebody's potential should go up after their 28 year old season, unless they're Barry Bonds.

I'm trying to hit .400, lead the league in runs scored, and steal a lot of bases

Any body having any tips to make diving catches?

I'm f*ucking abysmal at them. Been playing the game for years and I don't think I've ever had one.

Oh well
