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?
As an avid FM player, there are some key differences between potential in OOTP and FM. As you may know, potential ability in FM is set. I'm speaking of the background, "true" ratings. Does not change whatsoever. In OOTP, potential can absolutely change.
