I'm fine with potential ratings being set in stone; however, I'm not fine with those ratings being revealed the user. I don't care if that player is on a team controlled by the user, or not. The draft is a crap shoot. Teams aren't sure about the potential of their draft picks. Potential is a projection of what one's ability is.

If the potential rating is basically going to be a ceiling that the player cannot exceed; they should call it something else and never reveal it to the user, except for maybe when the player retires. The potential rating should still be in the game, but it should only be a projection that could be accurate, or inaccurate; it would also change based on the coaches, and systems.

Revealing a players potential( or rating ceiling) is one the worst ideas that I can think off.

First we had superhuman LBs, DBs and QBs with eyes in the back of their heads; now when they're finally taking out those aspects, they're thinking of replacing them with psychic coaches, brilliant.

If it's not is the game, than for goodness sake, don't put it in the game.
