Thoughts on CAP and the new potential rating?

[xanmank]

I am always interested in create-a-player, and i usually make myself and sign on the Raiders (I have to do it in franchise since superstar sucks).

But I wonder how it will be affected with the new potential rating- how will that be determined? If we choose the potential number (which seems like cheating) or if it is determined by a random factor/ associated somehow with overall or another attribute?

What are your thoughts?

They need to get back to limiting how many points you can use on CAP's. My friends and I stick to a strict "no over 83" but they should have it where you only have say 1200 points to create your player.

Not to beat a dead horse but the progression was so bad in 09. I created a LB (83 OVR) and he finished his career with 2 time DMVP, multiple pro bowls, tons of ints/sacks, and never went higher than his 83. =(

I'm actually interested in this question cause I usually do the same thing in making myself and putting him on the ATL.

Maybe it will be done by random factors but if it is I hope Age plays a role in determining the number that we get.

Got confused here. Your thread talks about putting a CAP/max limit on potential, while the CAP for this thread is talking about how potential will work for Create.A.Player.

i dont think they should limit points on created players, you should be able to choose his potential and all other ratings.
I feel like its your game and if you wanna cheat and create a 99ovr guy then so be it.

me and my boys always put a limit on the ovr when we create players, or it will be too easy.

IMHO its pretty much the same topic! only difference is create.a.player aspect.

I agree about not capping Create a player. My lil nephew love to create himself and turn it all the way up(hes 13) ,but if thats what floats his boat he should be able to do it.

Yea thinking about it I can see where both can conflict with each other.

About having a max amount of points usable. I agree but only if this was done with something like superstar where you should have to build your player up from good to great.

In general we should be allowed to max out players if need be.
