Potentials don't play. Currents do. Potentials are just what they may become in the future. They don't influence outcomes in any fashion I've ever seen. If they did, a lot of my minor leaguers would be playing better. A player's current ratings depend on a combination of their ratings and stats, with the values based on the AI Evaluation settings (which are somewhere in league setup, don't remember exactly where).
If the development engine is deciding things, as opposed to recalc, whether or not a player hits his potentials depends on a number of factors, including but not limited to playing time (in the minors only), coaching, work ethic, and intelligence (not to mention the algorithm that decides if these things work over any given period).
Some players will hit their potentials, some won't. Some players will see increases in potentials, while others will see their potential fade. It's baseball.
