I started playing HD about a year ago, and wasn't around when potential and FSS were implemented. Therefore, I can't really comment on many of the "new" things. But, from what I understand there hasn't been a really big release or update to the game since potential was introduced. There have been several mini-updates of late...including a change to postseason selection criteria, color coding of potential in different areas of the game, and an added "bracketology" sort of page.
The game is incredibly enjoyable for me though (and many others), and a great community has been established in many worlds (especially Wooden!). You should give the game a try again!
