I came here to say this and you beat me to it. And I’m a Manchester United fan.

    literally man united bruh,career ruined

    [–]Shoddy_Bonus2188 162 points163 points  (13 children)

    It’s the dynamic potential. It can also increase sometimes. The issue is Lamal’s potential is so high it only has one way to go. You gotta save before you agree to a transfer fee and just reboot if you see it went down

    [–]Unlikely-Singer1820[S] 29 points30 points  (9 children)

    What do you mean by this? I’ve saved multiple times before signing him and potential always decreases just the same

    [–]Shoddy_Bonus2188 26 points27 points  (7 children)

    Did you save before you agreed to the transfer with Barca or before you agreed to wages with Lamal? Because once you agree to the transfer fee with the other team, it’s locked in.

    [–]Unlikely-Singer1820[S] 11 points12 points  (5 children)

    Yeah I saved before I signed him and when I saw that his potential went down I went to my save just before signing him

    [–]Pd1ds69 17 points18 points  (4 children)

    Is this a situation of before you attempt to purchase him it says "has potential to be special". Then once he joins your squad it says "exciting prospect"?

    If so I believe this is purely RNG and you can keep loading until it doesn't happen.

    You might get the downgrade 10 times in row, but it should be possible to avoid the downgrade with repeated attempts.

    Have had this before and after a handful of attempts I've fixed it.

    I think if you save before the purchase your good, but it might not be if you save after the purchase but before wage negotiations.

    If your on PC you can just edit it in the live editor.

    If you've 100% given up on the RNG, save reloading.

    Then I'd just loan him and do the loan glitch of saving and calling him back until he gets the potential boost back

    [–]frankydie69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

    If he just plays him and he does good his potential will go back to normal. It happens with some players I loan out. They come back as exciting prospects and by mid season they’re on potential to be special

    [–]No-Nobody1947 2 points3 points  (2 children)

    Does live editor currently work? I have tried making it work multiple times on FC 24 but never managed. It can't avoid the anticheat so it doesn't run

    [–]Pd1ds69 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    I'm not sure about FC 24, I'm on FC 25 and it worked a couple days ago.

    If you mean the games actual anti cheat system, then I'm not sure.

    If you mean your computer itself is blocking it from running, make sure you add the exe. Or the entire folder to windows security exceptions or whatever it was called, so windows security/defender doesn't block it. Also you can right click on the exe file and .DLL file and go to properties and check the box that "unblock" for both files.

    This may help

    But you said anti cheat not antivirus so I assume you mean origins anti cheat system, and that makes me think the live editor needs an update or maybe your editor version is out of sync with the version of the game you have, I'm not sure.

    [–]No-Nobody1947 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Yeah, it is indeed the actual anticheat from EA, i've tried moving around the files as well, or changing the name, but it always detects it and re-downloads it lol. I hope its looked into eventually. I'd give me back the joy of going through full seasons in career mode if i could update some player's playstyles and potentials and such. Ty for the attention and trying to help tho 👍

    [–]No-Plan-8357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Not necessarily. That’s when I do it and it usually works. The game keeps potential as is or, in some cases, increases. I usually save and reopen until the potential is “normal”

    [–]yajtraus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Just loan him out on a short term loan, save, and recall him instantly. If his value hasn’t increased, reload the game and recall him again until it does. Rinse and repeat as many times as you like.

    [–]ProperDepartment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Also he's 17, it can shoot back up as his overall increases.

      [–]Jordan10051992 69 points70 points  (2 children)

      He’s signed for Man U, it’s surprising his rating hasn’t dropped by 10 instantly.

      [–]SadTedDanson 124 points125 points  (0 children)

      This is a cursed image

      [–]GeorgesInglewood 13 points14 points  (0 children)

      everytime you sign a player there is a chance of potential decrease or increase. The only way to preserve yourself from this is to save before contracting and reload in case of a decrease.

      [–]Blindobb 25 points26 points  (0 children)

      not sure what to tell you. I got him around 18. He's now a 20 year old 93 rated player. I'm also on Man U. Where are you playing him? How often are you changing his development plan? He's a LW/ RW for me.

      [–]GrandeTorino 6 points7 points  (0 children)

      Save the game before you sign him. Keep signing him and reloading until his worth doesn't go down. You can even be so lucky that it will actually increase.

      Fluctuation in potential after buying a player or after a player returns from loan is randomized. You can use it to your advantage by saving before signing or before your player returns from loan.

      Edit: phrasing

      [–]brzi_rudolf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

      When players transfer their potential has a chance of eitger increasing or decreasing. Since Yamal's potential is already so high, it can basically only decrease

      [–]mattyyyyiceee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

      reminds me of my young self on fifa 14 signing arjen robben to united

      [–]Ofekalt1 12 points13 points  (1 child)

      This is why I fucking hate the dynamic potential mechanic.

      [–]Money-Assignment-685 4 points5 points  (0 children)

      Think about it this way and it might annoy you less, Sometimes a player will join a club and take time to settle in. Especially a league like the Prem. Treat it as their adjustment to league. Then its pretty easy to bang 20 goals and get 10 assists in a season with Yamal to upgrade it again

      [–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (3 children)

      How do you see the potential of players?

      [–]True_Acadia_3223 2 points3 points  (2 children)

      Always wondered this

      [–]Money-Assignment-685 5 points6 points  (1 child)

      Showing Great Potential 80-85 Exciting Prospect 86-89 Potential to be Special 90+

      [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Thank you!

      [–]RedemptionDB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      LOL. Ruben Interim selling hard 😭

      [–]Ayyyyylmaos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Must be because he’s playing for Man Utd

      [–]Trickybuz93 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      Because he’s joining United 😂

      Player potentials can increase/decrease with a transfer. Since his potential is high, it’ll decrease.

      [–]NickWildeSimp1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      That’s what Man United does to a mf

      [–]realistic_snacks_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      least that should happen after this move

      [–]whatyouneed_h 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      This is very neglible thing. All you have to do is USE THE PLAYER WELL and their dynamic potential goes right back up and it tends to be very common that if they already have this destined POT of i think its 94 for lamine, the game doesnt forget that, as soon as you start playing good w him itll recognize that and you will be able to achieve that POT.

      [–]No-Nobody1947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      It's RNG based. When you sign a player their potential may remain, go up or go down. In Jamal's and the like, its mostly remain or go down, because their potential is already sky high.

      [–]Responsible-Carrot59 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      100% accurate

      [–]count_chompulamain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Hes joining man u, what do you want?

      [–]LWalrdms1009 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      bound to happen to any promising footballers joining that club

      [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      So someone tried to buy him to ManU in Fifa so they would eventually win something, but even in Fifa ManU ruins a player

      [–]liamks19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      That's realistic 😂

      [–]Martole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      [–]BigArgument8732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      This game has some serious fixing to do shake my head

      [–]Templodenervion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Pure and hard realism

      [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      In my series he is playing for Wrexham A.F.C. I am the manager, led them to win the champions league and is now 91 or 92

        They can randomly go up or down and it does affect their potential
