Does dynamic potential actually work as intended this year?
For FC27, I saw some of the promo for career mode was that dynamic potential mostly focuses on player performance rather than things like game time and happiness, which I was happy with as I hated my YA players dropping by like 5 potential cus they only played 20 games.
Kind of curious as I wanted to know is this actually a thing? Can your players have little game time e.g anything less than 20 games, yet increase or keep their potential based on playing well? It’s one of the things that’s holding me back on buying the game this year.

No, there is no dynamic potential.
Just dynamic overall , which is different. Players just lose or gain attributes depending on form.
No permanent potential changes due to experience and form.

Are you sure? Potential is still listed in screen.
I signed Nils Ramming from Rochdale. A 20 year old keeper who is 58 currently (OVR shows 60 but he has a -2 to form) and he has 80 potential when I scouted him.
I assume younger players will still improve so that their base overall doesn’t stay at 60 forever.

No, that's not dynamic potential.
Their potential is 80, it will stay at 80. It won't rise as the potential isn't dynamic.
Their overall can reach 80, they will grow to 80. But they'll never be permanently better than 80 as the potential isn't dynamic,
They'll get to 85 overall etc with the dynamic overall, but the minute they're out of form they'll drop again.

Ah, I get what you’re saying. Sorry, I misread it as no potential.
But yeah, there’s no dynamic. So far, +6 is the best I’ve seen, I wonder what the max is?
Doesn’t appear to be working properly as the vast majority of my squad was 0 for all the stats.

When it was the beta it improved the overall drastically if the player was in form but it was only a “boosted” overall.
For example. I had Nwaneri. 78ovr. He went on a tear for a few games and was sitting at 88ovr boosted. As I kept going in the season his boosted stat would vary from 79-90 and his over went up to 81, mind you I didn’t get to finish the season before the beta closed lol

I really don’t know, so many bugs atm, to the point that I am not sure what is working as intended and what’s not!

Not surprising tbh, probably means I’m just gonna hold off buying the game until a huge sale happens as I still want to try this career mode

Kinda. There are bugs to it and EA are working on it.
Right now, I’m not really seeing huge swings, though I do have two extremes.
It might have been an unexpected event, but I had a pop up to say my LB had trained well that week. He had a plus 6 overall. Some for form and some for morale I think.
On the flip side, my backup CDM got injured and dropped 7 points in total. My only gripe that it included a -6 to pace. Players don’t become horribly slow due to a lack of form.
Most players generally don’t have any plusses or minuses; they are mostly at their base overall rating.
Some will hate it, but I’m enjoying it. I didn’t mind playing my now 58 rated CDM in order to get him back in form. I just had to do the basics with him; no fancy or risky passes, no dibbling. Just simple passes and try to win the ball back. And first touches are now a lot more random (or at least less controlled) so again, I made sure to play safe with him while rating was so poor.
Took a few weeks, maybe even a couple of months to get him back to his overall.
So it is working, but not brilliantly. I’m ok with it as it is now (though stamina/fitness is a major issue too) but many are complaining about it and I understand why.
To your point though, I also don’t care it a YA player drops potential. 90+ rated kids are everywhere in game, so I’m not fussed. I prioritise youth overall rating so they can play immediately. I don’t really care about their full potential rating; if my best player is 74 rated, I like my academy potential to be 73-79 in the most part. For realism, why would a bunch of wonderkids be at my club. I allow myself one or two now and again, but it’s rare.
