Player Potential???

Can someone let me know where you can view player potential? I looked on the editing players screen and player card. I can't find it anywhere.

With the simulator out of the way, we moved on to our next core feature, the Player Progression model. Rather than implement a traditional progression model where players are given a potential rating that places them on a pre-determined growth ‘curve’, we decided to take a risk with our new progression model. As it turned out, this risk paid off for us handsomely. Players will progress in MLB 2K9 with respect to their on-field performance in addition to their potential. What this basically means is their on-field successes and/or failures will determine their career paths. This creates a very dynamic experience where one user’s experience could be dramatically different from another. I’ve had a franchise where James Loney took off and became one of the better players in the league. In another, I watched him hobble through injury after injury while never realizing his true potential. This level of dynamism is one of the many reasons that we are very excited about getting this game into your hands.

Thanks. Pretty cool and *** at the same time. I still will like to know a players potential. How you suppose to know if a player has high expectations.

This really isn't going to help you any, but in franchise if you try to trade for a young player, the greater their "potential," the more they are valued by their team.

Re: Player Potential???

Not sure if you can find it on a player screen or not, but in a franchise you can check out which players on the the hot prospect list or top 100. It highlights the players on your team in yellow. I know it is not a rating but it is nice to have one place to go check the prospect list...especially if you want to trade for young talent.
