So it's mean that this player will never development more at 21?

[donnghia]

He has been 3,5 star at 20 and still like that at 21, there are no "WHITE STAR" anymore

So that's it mean he is at his FULL POTENTIAL and Certainly will never develop ?

It seem like not reflex the real-life too much,  Player who reach his full potential at 20 and never Go Up seem hard to see

Probably. Can't say for sure without the actual CA/PA figures though.

It does reflect real life though. Players that peak early are rare, but they definitely do exist. Mario Balotelli is one.

Balotelli was down to his personality, drive, determination and antics rather than raw ability. 
 

This is why ‘potential’ needs to be tied in with all of those things in FM. There doesn’t seem to be strong enough links right now to the PA number and personality traits/hidden attributes.

It reflects real life perfectly, in this case:
1) your staff predicted he could grow more
2) He didn't grow much
3) They adjusted their evaluation of the player

I'd say don't focus much on the stats, play him and follow his developmente like you are doing. If he truly stops getting better you'll have to decide what to do, but if he stops it just means that he wasn't that good in the first place, misjudgements happen!

EDIT: looking at the stats i'd play him as a CAM, he is pretty good still, look at it this way: if he isn't good enough for you, you can offload him to man UTD and get a boatload of cash

If they only changed that then the risk is that it would become much easier for the user to know if a player will reach their potential before even buying the player. In real life people dont know.

Anecdotally though in the game I'm pretty sure most of the top players have good personalities.

Any real players will not have "bad" personalities. Kind of a shame you can't get to experience the full spectrum of the game until 10-15 years in with respect to personalities.
