Ability to see other teams potentials - glitch? Topic

Ever since the latest update, you can see the potential of other team's players by going to that players "ratings history" tab.  I can't imagine this was intended by the developers, right?  If so, they would have just made the potentials visible on all players cards instead of having it only show up here.

Wtf....yup I think it is a glitch! That has to get fixed ASAP.

Why does it matter if people can see the potential after a player has already been recruited to your team? I took a look at it but outside of my own team, what would be the point in looking at opposing teams potential?

All that tells me as a coach is how much trouble I'm going to be in when everyone else in the league has a stable of studs. Really don't see a way to exploit it in the game, but it could come in handy when reviewing job vacancies at the end of the year...

Rednu, I thought about the vacancy issue but many times people don't know what jobs will come open. I suppose if you can look at the potentials whole you are examining your options it would give you an idea, but I would imagine any coach taking a new position would have some idea if the players he is getting have any room to grow.

That needs to be fixed.   That's just too much information.  The color codes were a later add-on to the new history tab.  I have to imagine that it wasn't intended to broadcast potentials to everyone.

I'm not really understanding how this is an issue of too much information. How will knowing my opponents players potentials or them knowing my player potentials have any effect on our game? The players aren't going anywhere unless they get cut in which case their likely not very good anyways. Their still going to be the same rating when you play regardless if you see it or not.

Not saying it's a good or bad thing necessarily, just pointing out it's probably a glitch. If you were intended to see potentials of other teams players, they would just show up on that players rating card, instead of making you dig a little bit for it.

fixed!

Is this fixed for all players or just active players?  Even if there was a way to exploit this for active players, I can't imagine a reason why being able to see it for historical players would be anything but good fun.

Yea I thought it was actually kinda cool to be able to see all my colleagues recruits and their potentials. What would the gripe be against it?
