Dynamic potential
Is it just me or do the potential of all players at your club go down? Even players playing every game in excellent form don't grow much in the second season. This is kinda spoiling fifa for me.

Note that, despite the howls of protest from lots of people, nothing has been done about it yet.
Here's an example from the Bug page:
"I’m having the same problem. For instance, I had Christhian Mosquera on my team, status was Showing Great Potential. He started almost every game in season 1 and had a cumulative rating of 7.7. At beginning of season 2, his status changed to At The Club Since, and his development stopped when he hit 78 overall, at age 19 no less. So dumb. At the beginning of season 3, after having an equally good season 2, his potential did not change and he was still frozen at 78 overall with no growth left."
I would want young players to be able to grow as well, though, so it's not like I think the current (and bugged) state is perfect or anything. But at some point I do feel it's actually an improvement from the dynamic potential of FIFA21 and 22.
At the very least it should be an option when starting a career mode to turn it on or off. If on, people can make any player a superstar that they want and on off, it presents a new challenge and probably results in more realistic transfer fees
I'm assuming this is like old fifa games where that means they aren't growing much more?
It is logged as a bug, but that doesn't mean it's going to get fixed.
Correct.
I don't think so. Youngsters shouldn't change potentials when promoted to the first team. So if they show "at the club since" despite a high potential, it must be because they have an overall rating below 60. Players will only show these "showing great potential" and "exciting prospect" status', if they are above 60 in the overall rating. But yes, give it to the end of the season, and the potentials will drop for sure.
I won't buy the game until this is resolved because I only do Youth Academy saves in career mode. If they can't grow, then I have nothing to do in the game.
It must be a bit hit and miss.
I don't think it's hit or miss. Your kid must have had at least 60 overall rating. I promise, that if he had had 59 overall rating or less, then you would have seen the "at the club since" status.
Yes, I know. I had that in '22, where I had an 87-93 player I promoted with a current rating of 59, because I would otherwise lose him. As soon as he hit 60 then it changed to 'has potential to be special'. Whether that's the reason still, all the time, only EA would know.
> I promoted a kid yesterday, with potential 86-94 and he came through as having potential to be special.

Dynamic potential would affect his potential in season 2-3 and beyond, not his initial potential. The issue is that the player drops from PTBS to exciting or even lower over the next couple seasons despite performance.
I was just reacting to some people commenting that they saw a reduction on promotion to the first team. I know the reductions happen later - sometimes.
Over on the PC version,. one of the modders has come up with a temporary fix. Won't work with consoles, though.

Could you please share the link?

"A mod has been created for PC edition which fixes the dynamic potential bug - posted on Reddit today by
u/R4lfXD
I've tested the mod with my career mode saves and it works beautifully, player potential ratings do not change at season end. I can now play career mode again!"
