For all of you hitters struggling with not getting boosts in Potential after you have maxed out your initial ratings, try this workout. I am now on my third character with it (2 Normal level guys and my current Horror level player). Each time, after I reach my initial max level, I start getting 10 points bumps from the Gym in Contact, Power and Gap almost immediately.
Once I reach the new level, I soon get another 10 point increase. Sometimes it happens during the season, and sometimes it occurs during the offseason.
Example: My current Horror level player started out at Contact 10, Power 10 and Gap 10 (I went for Eye 100, Speed 70 and Basestealing 100 with the limited setup points available at this level). Now at age 25, I am at Contact 40, Power 50 and Gap 60 at the start of the season. Your RPG ratings don't seem to matter...I have gotten 40 points worth of extra Power even though my Strength is 0.
Here is the workout:
Sunday:
(Morning) DB Squats, (Evening) Leg Press, Lower Flex Plus
Monday:
(Morning) Lower Flex, (Evening) Fielding Drills Plus
Tuesday:
(Morning) Bench Press, (Evening) Seated Long Row, Upper Flex Plus
Wednesday:
No workout
Thursday:
(Morning) Crossover Power Step, (Evening) Dot Drill, Leg Flex Plus
Friday:
(Morning) Fielding Drill Plus, (Evening) None
Saturday:
(Morning) Wrist Extension, (Evening) Wrist Twist, Arm Flex Plus
Energy Level 70/100 Ratio 1.56
This workout also slowly improves your Fielding and Speed, depending on your playing time and initial levels. One other note...my guy has a Charisma of 3, which gets me free Contact and Eye points from the Bar at about a 50% success rate. That helps reach the initial and new Potential levels that much quicker. Before anyone asks, no, I have never gotten an increase in Eye potential trying numerous approaches, which was why I maxed it out at the beginning.
Let me know how it works for you.
