I’m in my fourth season and having a great year with points. I broke the record for goals and points in a season. My rating it already at 94 but my potential is Med Elite. Shouldn't I be a Franchise potential by now? Does that come at a certain point based on age?

Any info would be appreciated.

    Hi there, @Sparky_NY1.

    Potential isn't really used in BAP since you control your growth through your play.

      @EA_Aljo Ok, but shouldn’t it increase/decrease based on play and stats? I know in Franchise when a player reaches a certain point in OVR they go up. Like a Top 6 Medium could turn into a Elite Medium when the player develops.

        Your potential is just based on the overall of your player. If it goes up higher, it should change. However, potentially, in BAP, is purely visual and doesn't have an impact on your player.
