if you do a replace there is no way ray fosse will be a star. you have to manually adjust his ratings. (which to me feels like cheating). But it will work. You can try to adjust potential, but it won't work for players over 30 (this is based on 200 sim attempts for me (other players will argue that though which is fine)
Hi Fred, good to see you. Let's review.

Potential is a clue as to what future ratings might be.

Potential does not affect future ratings. Its the other way around. Current ratings affect potential.

Editing potential doesn't affect ratings now or in the future for ANY player regardless of age. It only that potential greater than current isn't shown for players age 30+.

I'm really sorry for you that Bobby Thomson fell off the cliff at age 30 giving Hank Aaron a chance to play at a young age and get a head start on breaking Ruth's HR record.
