Like it for sure
Why not keep the question mark along with their potential number to keep with your original thought

I liked the old display better.

The change doesn't really serve any practical purpose imo, and doesn't show anything we couldn't see before.

Some had problems with the tootip on mobile devices I believe. If that was the case, then I'm glad the playing field was leveled for those players.

One thing I always appreciated about Broken Bat was that it never played coy with the potential. Other games of this type make you scout guys. Sometimes multiple times and the whole process is muddied. In the real world, GMs know something about these players before they ever make it to the draft stage. We inherently know Jameis Winston has higher potential than Bryce Petty without having to send a scout out to look at them. Since we can't "know" these players before they come up on our slate of draft picks, having the potential available on their cards stands in for this inherent knowledge of prospects nicely.

The fact that potential does not translate into production on a one-to-one basis in Broken Bat reflects the real world much better than do most sports sims.

Long as i remember. Always potential?
Was/is used for "scouting purpose" as no real affect on game and or players at all.
Has this changed?
If it did change let me know!

It is practical for times I'm on mobile, which is roughly half the time. I also check out other teams once in awhile and it was a nuisance to have to scroll over it.

Thanks!

First of on Mobil a lot so thank you. Second to hassles comment one useless or unrealistic scouting 100 percent agree. Said a lot around here but not said enough thank you Steve for a well put together game that is very casual player friendly and still challenging enough for super sport nerds.
