So both CA (current ability) and PA (potential ability) are out of 200, or for PA it can be a minus number.
In terms of ranking it should roughly follow like this:
180-200 - 5 star
170-180 - 4 1/2 star
160-170 - 4 star
150-160 - 3 1/2 star
140-150 - 3 star
100-140 - 2 1/2 star
and then lower is lower.
Or that is roughly what it is, for the top teams anyway. And then the minus numbers in PA are ranked as follows:
0 = 1-200
-1 = 1-30
-2 = 10-40
-3 = 30-60
-4 = 50-80
-5 = 70-100
-6 = 90-120
-7 = 110-140
-8 = 130-160
-9 = 150-180
-10 = 170-200
So from what I have been told, Players who have a number between 1-200 will always reach that. Players with a minus will reach between the numbers above.
By question is, is it always? I've been playing around with the in game editor just to see what happens and I have a player 195 PA. I've played a whole season with him and his stats barely went up. Which is why I am questioning this.
Is it possible that players who have a high PA will not actually reach that level? I've also read that players only really develop up until 21. Which I can't see being true since players prime age is usually mid to late 20's.
So my 195 PA player, even though he is played often, and I give him training etc, may never even get close? Does the CA effect this at all? What is the deciding factor whether or not a player becomes as good as they can be?
I mean the two best young CB's (arguably) on the game Balanta and Varane have PA of 176 and 175 (according to my current save). And Balanta for me has gone up quite a lot, but the guy I set to 195 has barely improved.
This is only on a test save, I am trying to work out they CA and PA as much as I can, but with a whole season set to 195 PA and not to have changed much makes me think that either the in game editor change does nothing or that what I have been lead to believe may not be true.

On some of your other points:
"So from what I have been told, Players who have a number between 1-200 will always reach that. Players with a minus will reach between the numbers above." - Players with a minus will be given a fixed PA (all PA is fixed) when a game is started, within them parameters you posted.
"I've also read that players only really develop up until 21." - Not true. They develop quicker obviously when they're younger.

They're both hidden attributes right? They can be change via the editor for me to do some testing though. I did not know that about the minus numbers, so that means on some peoples games a player could be 180 pa and on others 150 pa?
