This game doesn't use a potential system like OOTP, and there is no in-season or pro scouting system. Scouting only occurs during one phase of the off-season and only draftable rookies can be scouted
There are some stats that are supposed to influence player development, like work ethic, disposition etc. and the devs have previously stated there are some hidden stats that influence development as well, but I know of no way to view them.
