If you start a historical league, and sim to modern day, and then run a draft for 2018, every draft prospect will have 1 star potential since there's no future stats to project potential and the game uses their current ratings (which are low). The draft classes would be complete bombs.

I'm not asking for the players to hit their potential, I'm asking if there's a way other than editing ratings to give them what their current potential is suggested to be.

I am assuming it's very unlikely any of the modern day rookies who debuted in 2018 will become anything in a historical sim since their potential ratings are just their current ratings.

To my knowledge, no, and I've dug around a lot in the backend of the system and know the exported data tables very well.

The only way to tell OOTP that a player has high potential is to manually edit his potential ratings. Or to manually access the master database (which isn't accessible and would theoretically be harder than manually editing the player potentials). Which is why logged that feature request above.
