I am coming new to OOTP from football manager (which i am not that great at either lol!) and am having trouble understanding how potential works in OOTP. In FM, if you have a player with 4 star potential, that is a pretty good estimate of his final maximum 'overall' rating. In OOTP, I am not sure what it means. I hope it is not maximum potential, since in that case all my players in rookie leagues are rubbish, as they have at most 2.5 star potential. I have heard it said that potential can increase over time?

TL;DR, how is potential defined in OOTP?
