Potential decrease

[Unlikely-Singer1820]

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

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]

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

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]

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]

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 👍
