I have two Freshman Centers who have improved their TOTAL rating by 54 & 57 points this season. I am new, but that seems pretty good to me, what is the highest you have seen?

My best was this season in Allen. I had the #4 SF in D1 improve by 124 points. He had a lot of high potential areas, started every game and had a 88 work eithic at the end.

There were some crazy numbers when potential was first rolled out though that beat this I am sure.

54/57 is pretty darn good for D3 though, where potentials are lower.

I have a C couple improve by 67 and 70 this season. Biggest gains were seen in Stamina and Durability, though.

I think the most i ever had was 72.

I am having trouble with understanding the players' potentials. I can't get my assistant coach to stop telling to quit wasting my time having this player and that player spend too much time in this skill or that skill. How can you tell what a player's potential is? He told me that this player has big upside in some things and that player has limited upside in other things. Is that dialogue the only way to tell what that player's potential is?

That info is available through the use of Future Stars Scouting during the recruiting process.

I've had a freshman SG start in D2 and go up about a hundred. This was before they limited how much players could improve so anything above 50 is pretty good now.
