Please remove the potential ability system.

I really hope that the next installment of Football Manager will remove the potential ability system that acts as a growth brake for players. It’s frustrating when, after 5 years of loyalty to the club, you have to replace a player just because their potential ability is capped at 145. In real football, there are many examples of managers reviving players who seemed to be on the decline. It would be great if this could be better reflected in the game.

True, they should rework it somehow

Hint : Get the in-game Editor and you can change the potential of players by yourself !

I sometimes do that for the players I really like and that I consider underestimated by the game compared to their real counterparts...

That feels like cheating to me. I think they should consider some sort of form boost. For example, potential could be fluid within a certain range. Someone capped at 140 could reach 155 when they're on a really good run or drop to 125 when they're performing poorly.

It may be that I've just not given this much notice, but I'm not aware of there being any feature of "late flourishing players". And what I mean by that is, players that seem to be better, and play better post 30, than pre 30.

I'm sure I'll be told it is a thing and that I've just not noticed it though!
