Hi all,

Just got a new update and checking my teams stats.

One of my players has a potential of -7, what does this signify ?

thanks.

-10 = 170-200 PA
-9 = 150-180 PA
-8 = 130-160 PA
-7 = 110-140 PA
-6 = 90-120 PA
-5 = 70-100 PA
-4 = 50-80 PA
-3 = 30-60 PA
-2 = 10-40 PA
-1 = 0-20 PA

thanks

I hate it when people state tables like this as fact.

Potential ability can't be lower than current ability so if a player has CA 120 and PA -2 I believe his in-game potential could be anything between 120 and 200, it's just that he's more likely to have a better in-game potential if his pre-game potential were -3, -4 etc.

I am sorry but this is a fact! then stop talking rubbish

Well you're wrong. In the past there was only -1 and -2, i'm not too sure but I believe they were the same range, only with -2 being far more likely for the PA to end in the higher end of the range. For FM it was changed to that table zeuth7 posted. The reason for those -1 and -2 to still be on the database is cause somebody forgot to change them. What the game does in those cases is to equal PA to their CA i think (since PA can't be lower than CA as you said).

The table is correct

Hes obviously wrong though as -1 and -2 mean different things on FM so they were changed. The reason there is now 10 levels is to improve the randomness of players.

I was talking about some odd random forgotten players i came across on the portuguese league. Mildly talented youth players with potentials of -1. Surely this is cause the research team forgot it, leaving the values from the previous database? It just doesn't make sense otherwise, i'm sure they wanted the players to have a PA higher than 20!
