potential Issue.

I was playing with AC MILAN and i was looking at pato and his only 19.
i have the genie scout, and is says his full potential is 188. OK.
But when i open a new save with a different team (Barcelona) and i used the genie scout to search for good young strikers i found pato at the top of the list with potential of 196.And that a pretty big diffrence for example his finishing at 180 potential is 15 and at 190 is 16.(there were many diffrences like that one).
Is it defferent training? or what?

its down to the fact that within the editor he is set with
potential ability of -10,

The minus 10 mean that his potential ability will range between 180-200 depend on each save,

if in the editor it was minus 9 he would have potential ranging from 160 to 180 and so on with each of these negative value with can be seen if you take a glance in the editor,

other such young players in the game will have this settings, like most of the youth squad player for evey team,

Scott sinclair of chelsea is great example, if nutured correctly he becomes a top player, but if left to rot in reserve games and start only in the worst of injury crisises he is at best a championship level player, think he is a -9 potential ability

Well thank you very much mate, i didnt know it randomise this kind of player, i thought it randomise only players from the youth teams.
