I'm almost positive that TCR affects both current and potential ratings; it's kind of the point. It's the way that a 34 year old can suddenly have a boost to their ratings. Even when you run it at like 150 it's not a common occurrence but it does seem to happen.

Also, just to note, when you see a player with potentials lower than their actual rating, that's a sign that either your scout messed up or (more likely) that the player will be seeing a decline soon. Actual ratings are wired to fall to their POTs when the POT is higher (on "average" of course; a player with a 110 Avoid Ks potential but a 115 AK vs. LHP is unlikely to see that particular number fall if their AK vs. RHP is below 110).
