Okay, thanks for the replies.

I guess there is an inherent bias in how I rate a player from my team (Cubs).

But I still feel that OOTP should somehow allow for a talented 26 to 28-year old player with high work ethic and intelligence to occasionally take that "next step" and exceed his shown potential ratings. Which is what thesmokeshow refers to in his answer.

Of course, the opposite should also happen, to mirror real life. A talented young player with a low work ethic and low intelligence would see his overall and potential ratings drop. (I'm looking at you, Starlin Castro!)

Does anyone know what impact changing the Talent Change Randomness setting has on such ratings changes? I'm thinking about bumping it up to about 150. Will the positive and negative ratings surprises be divided equally?

Anyway, I appreciate the feedback.
