While a players potential seems like it can tell you how good he will be, it has
a hidden agenda, it will also tell you what KIND of player he will be. In the chart
above, Gomez's potantial is 82, while the 8(the first # in 82) represents his actual
potantial, the 2(the second # in 82) is what kind of player he is. 2 is the eqivialnt
of a playmaker. For an explination to these values, use the chart provided.
The last digit of the potential rating tells the players natural role. If a defenseman
gets a forward role, the role will be set to defensive defenseman in EHM. If a
forwards has a defensemans natural role, he will be an all-around offensive player in
EHM.
