Dynamic Potential Completely Broken
I spent a ton of hours scouting youth players that we "exact" players that I wanted for my team all of my starting 11 "HAD POTENTIAL TO BE SPECIAL" which is 90+ overall after my first season 2 player...

Have been reporting on this issue for over five years. Largest problem occurs when conducting a Manger Career mode save with lower league or second/third tier clubs that have minimal transfer funds. After scouting a player who displays the the enhanced attributes (potential to be special, or other high potential indicators), and purchasing the player, immediately upon entering the squad hub that player exhibits the low potential nomenclature 'At the club since 2024', and fails to achieve a high rating (80+), even after three or four seasons. For bottom table clubs, this singular player acquisition can consume the entirety of the transfer budget, resulting in missed opportunities.
The scenario I'm talking about is the youth academy where you can play with the players in the youth tournaments and you can see there actual full potential like right now i have a 14 yr old CM that has a max potential of a 97 but now I'm afraid to promote him because his potential will end up screwed up at the end of a season even if i play every game and do good with him.
The dynamic potential has been broken since its introduction, I'm afraid. With all the things you need to decide when starting a career, it baffles me that there isn't a "Player potential - dynamic or fixed" option available.
I also miss the days where a young player can get 10-15 games in a season, and it's viewed as a good progression for his development. Now it's like they need to play 95% of the games. I think. It's not like this threshold is easy to tell anyway.
I waited to buy the game just hoping the ANNUAL crap was fixed….but once again EA has let me down. I knew I shouldn’t have purchased it but I did anyway after some reviews. But now the normal crap is returning. After first season I’ll have loan glitch the entire team to get them back where they should. I’ll stop playing the game after that until there’s a fix, and that won’t happen until some time in early spring.
