Re: Drafting a Franchise Potential Player

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.

    @Sparky_NY1 

    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.

  • @EA_Aljo Right, I understand what you're saying. Potential has no impact on if my player's OVR goes up. When I play well I increase my own attributes which changes my OVR.

    What I am talking about is that does the potential labeling change at all (Elite Medium —> Elite High —> Franchise Medium —> Franchise High). My player is 21 years old, currently a 94 OVR and an Elite Medium potential.

    All I am asking is shouldn't my player be labeled as a Franchise Medium/High based off my OVR?

    Hope this explains everything.

    You'll just have to keep playing to see if this label changes. Unfortunately, I don't have any other details for you. Sorry for that ☹️
