"Bat arrow" symbol next to player's name

[Aviator87AC]

Any idea what this symbol next to Jordan Patterson's name means? I've never seen it before and the in-game legend doesn't have it either!

Top 50 prospect is what was said in the patch thread.

New Icon for the Top 50 Prospects most likely.

EDIT: CB beat me to it.

Not a huge deal, but; Could they pick a more confusing and messy icon? What was wrong with the top 50 icon before? It was pretty obvious with the "50" being the focal point what the icon meant.

You'd think they would update the icon legend at least. "50" seemed pretty straight forward to me. I actually thought this had something to do with Patterson's walk-off double in the previous game.

Huh, looks more like "Has overcome ED." Give him credit, the arrow is now pointing up!

I think it's like the Prince symbol. "The Player Fornerly Known as Jordan Patterson"

The improvement to franchise mode that we'd all been begging for, probably the same focus group that asked for phases as the most important thing missing.

The only, tiny amount of logic I can see for this is that there was previously more than 50 players with that icon, a lot of whom weren't on the top 50 list when you looked, so presumably one person complained about that so they changed the icon to this weird bat arrow thing to get rid of any confusion caused by the 50.
