That's not it at all. As already pointed out in this thread, the potential rating is driving up in-game performance. Consider these two players. One is a 1 current, 1 potential for all hitting ratings and the other is 1 current, 600 potential.
The guy with only 1 potential performed as you would expect someone with no ability to perform, though I'd still argue he had much better performance than he should have, but the difference is clear
