volatility by jhartshorn @ 10/25/2016 4:10 am I'm sure this has been answered already but I can't find the answer. I understand that someone with low vol tends to suggest they'll fulfil their potential as per the potential bars. I also understand that if a player has high potential bars but high vol that he may not fulfill that promise. I also understand that it can work 'the other way' - this is where I'd like some clarity, esp with a draft coming up! So, to work the other way suggests player may have CUR/FUT of 34/62 and vol 95. Let's say his pot bars reach about mid-60's atm. But with the vol, he has a chance that he may end up a real star......right???? The final question concerns players that have no extra potential, so the bars are complete. Can vol affect these guys: so a player with completed Pass Rushing in the draft but vol 90+, could he extend this skill or DOES IT ONLY AFFECT SKILLS NOT YET FULFILLED? Hope this makes sense, it does to me!

Hope this makes sense, it does to me! Higher volatility just means less accuracy in the potential - you are right, your example with volatility of 95 could drop to the low 50s and maybe even the 40s, but could also end up in the 80s or 90s, while the same player with a volatility of 0 will probably end up at 62 when fully developed. There is still a small amount of movement once the bars are maxed out, but for all practical purposes once there is no more blue the volatility is no longer relevant. As a player ages, though, his attributes will begin to decline, regardless of his volatility. Liked by jhartshorn

I'd like to see a small %(2% is cool with me) of players never decline or even improve...
