He exceeded those expectations in 2030 and hit 119 SI and for the first time ever, I saw a player increase in potential (he became 15). This year he lost one SI but also his potential went down to 14. What gives here? Players lose SI all the time as they age and former 14 pot guys who now have 95 SI are still shown as 14 pot, not 12. Did the 'scout' get it wrong and believe the player was a 15 pot guy when he was 14 this whole time?

If someone goes over the potential he’s drafted with, the potential is bumped up to the appropriate value for his SI, but when age brings his SI back down to that initial POT range, the POT score drops back down.
