How does potential work?Potential acts as a cap on training. Different potential levels cap out at different skill levels. So an MVP can be trained longer than an Allstar potential player. There is a rough salary estimate corresponding to the cap for each potential level. Once the skill set of a player reaches a particular point (The soft cap) that is equal to the potential level of the player, training really slows down and it becomes ineffective to train the player anymore.0 Announcer: < 6k1 Bench warmer: < 8k2 Role player: < 13k3 6th man: 10-15k4 Starter: 15-20k5 Star: 20-30k6 AllStar: 30-50k7 Perennial allstar: 50-85k8 Superstar: 80-120k9 MVP: 100-200k10 Hall of famer: 200k+11 All time great: 300k+The above is a rough estimate of potentials and where they cap at.
