I think the answer to my question does lie somewhere in this thread and i think i have read it as well but i'm asking in order to clarify it and be sure that i got you right.

Is it correct, that the Capcalculation is independent of the position, the player is listed by the engine or the most suitable, and should be done for all positions, since a player has reached his cap, if he did so at any position, no matter what. Thus only the skillset, apllied on your formula - by position - does come into account here?

If he´s capped at any one position, he´s capped in all. No matter where he is listed at.

Or to put it differently:

A player has reached his TRUE-CAP when he has reached any of his PG-CAP/SG-CAP/SF-CAP/PF-CAP/C-CAP.
At this point, it doesn't matter what his position is, his training will be slower no matter what.


Hey, I guess a player could "uncap" due to skills dropping with age.

yes, but what is the point training a player who is already losing skill due age

For each level of potential, the Cap is a Potential Score-value in the range as stated below.

I prefer simple Potential Exploitation, not Potential Score.
If:
PE - Potential Exploitation
PS - Potential Score (Your formulas)
then:

PE = PS/2 - 4

Then we have in comparison:


Caps:                   PS      	PE
 0 announcer:   	10      	 1
 1 bench-warmer:	10 - 12 	 1 -  2
 2 role player: 	12 - 14 	 2 -  3
 3 6th man:     	14 - 16 	 3 -  4
 4 starter:     	16 - 18 	 4 -  5
 5 star:        	18 - 20 	 5 -  6
 6 allstar:     	20 - 22 	 6 -  7
 7 perennial allstar:	22 - 24 	 7 -  8
 8 superstar:   	24 - 26 	 8 -  9
 9 MVP:         	26 - 28 	 9 - 10
10 hall of famer:	28 - 30 	10 - 11
11 all-time great:	30      	11



It's easier to understand.

exhaustion, used, or... score.
Score is good, but I didn't want to use the same, because in this way we have markings collision - if we say that
X = X/2 - 4
it means that
X = -8
And I think it is impossible that all players in BB have potential -superstar (negative superstar)

I noticed that if we increase all skills by 1, then almost exactly one level of potential is used.
So it means that if players has better potential by one level, then he will be capped when all skills will be one level higher.
