I thought it was pretty much an accepted fact that High-High potential meant a 30+ point improvement.  Has anyone else experienced this?

I submitted a ticket and the response was "High-High can be slightly less than 30 points." 

Evidently I missed something along the way?

With low WE guys, I've had high-high potentials cap in the 25 range before.

What message are you defining as 'capping'?  And even after you get the capping message, you can often gain another point or so - which in your case would take you over 28.

apologies as  I wasn't clear--what I meant is that my player (Freshman Gregory Sherman in case you're interested) had his LP improvement turn from blue to black after only a 7 point improvement, meaning that his max improvement in this category will be 27 (or maybe even 26).  So this isn't a case of a player maxing out in LP ability, but rather seeing his ceiling be quite a bit lower than I thought was possible...  Does that make sense?

Indeed it would appear that way.  I was unaware of the 27+ level--where (and when) did you hear that?

I'm fairly certain it's 28, and I think in-season average is <21, so you've probably seen growth of 7.x(x?) and now have 20.x left.  I think starting ratings and caps are integers, so technically the cap is still 21 above where he is now, but it's unlikely you'll ever see that cap number even if the guy is very, very close to it.

From what I'm noticing in tracking the color changes the past couple seasons is that just like when the max out message comes it doesn't mean they are exactly maxed out, so too is it the same on changes from blue/black and black/red. They happen at a period approximate to the correct time, but not the exact time. I still go under the assumption that the total for a high-high is 28, but watching the changes is not an exact exact exact indicator.

I always thought it was 28 because the highest rating for a hi-hi message I ever got was for a guy who was already at 72. High is also 21 (considering the highest rating you see with high potential is 79) so if he went black after 7, that would be consistent with 28 being the bottom of hi-hi.
