what is the largest difference that you have seen between a players current rating and their potential? Right now I have a 1 ball, F rating but a 3 ball potential. Does anyone else have or seen say a 1 ball grade with a 4 or 5 ball potential?

Who would you rather pick between these too draftees?!

Star : Potential : Grade
5 : 5 : A-
5 : 3 : A+

One has a better potential while the other has better grade rating... Which is more important?! The grade rating or the potential?!

I'd go for potential... better trainee and you can sell him for triple the money if you don't plan on training that position

5, 5, A- is the go. I wish I can have a 5 ball potential prospects like you on my list but I am happy with a 5 star rating, 4 ball potential prospect on my list ..

1 ball --> crap
2 balls --> reserve, 6th man
3 balls --> starter, star, allstar
4 balls --> franchise, super-star, mvp? (some people said that the have seen mvps with 4 balls, i dont know for sure)
5 balls --> MVP (i know a 5 balls MVP), hall of famer, legend.

i got this list from GM Leyendinha, maybe it's helps you


I was looking for something like this for some time now. Thanks CrazyEyes and GM Leyendinha.

Hello Folks,

This is based on my understanding. GM please correct if this is wrong:

If you look at the Nomenclature or move your cursor to a player's potential (roster), the potential will show you a number (see highlighted number).

announcer 0
bench warmer1
role player 2
6th man 3
starter 4
star 5
allstar 6
perennialallstar7
superstar 8
MVP 9
hall of famer 10
all-time great 10+

For example, if number is 5, may be the potential ball is 2? Liike enthusiasm, if enthusiasm is 4.5 it will only show as '4' without the round-up.

If this concept is correct then take the highlighted number and divide them by 2 without the rounding it up..then the potential balls means...

1 = 6th man or role player (announcer, bench warmer, buzzerbeater developer as well? Do we have any '0' potential ball?)

2 = Star, Starter

3 = Allstar, Pen-allstar?

4 = Superstar or MVP?

5 = all-time great or hall of famer?

Again, this is based on my understanding...

To my understanding this is false assumption.
