potential ability CAN change.

I know potential ability changes though the game, I have seen it several times.

I have bought regens that has a potential ability if 195 and after 5 years its down to 182.

I think its stupid of the MODs to close the thread.

Cause my players changed PA, and i wish I could prove it, or have somebody back me up on that.

Uhhh. I wish I could back you up, but unfortunately for you, you are wrong. The PA doesn't change. You might have mixed your players up.

I've seen it with my youngsters only. After I finished a season some of them dropped as much as 20 points in PA while others had risen.

(I used and editor and NO it's no mixup, one of my wonders went from 197 down to 179...)

Ever thought that it could be something to do with the way FMScout reads the data, and possibly nothing to do with an actual PA change in game. After all, fmscout is an unofficial utility and cannot therefore garuntee 100% accuracy? Just a thought. I have no idea.

It could be FM Scout that does it, but it doesnt seem likely. Cause the players worth and performance in the game reflex their CA and PA.

It is not a mixup. I am 100% sure their PA dropped.

PA doesn't change, CA changes. That is the way FM is programmed. If FM scout says different then it is an error on their behalf, and purely materialistic. A players PA never changes on the game itself.

Ive seen SI members state the PA chance change after a significant injury for example.

It is a fault with how way programmes read the data, SI have said so many times in GQ.

No it does not, I currenlty have a striker whos PA is 194 and his CA is currently 189 yet his value only £3 million.

Benoit you got a link for that? As I can only find threads stating it does not change

No. I believe Ive read posts from Marc claiming it. I aint gonna use the search feature though, it blows.

potential ability CAN change.

It's no use having a squad full of star players without a decent way for them to play their football.
