I am in the small group that liked Tarek’s original HD. Never thought much of the potential thing. I would like to recruit players and develop them as I want not based on potential.
DIII recruiting is a disaster and it’s where new human coaches need to develop skills. If you are an experienced coach and have a high prestige at DIII, you probably love DIII.
The game engine isn’t much different but I think the 3.0 engine appears to be geared toward perimeter players, just my opinion.
I do like the 6 hour cycles in recruiting now.
Just my quick thoughts here.
