Well, if the difference in the game between Greg Maddux and Jose Lima is their team leadership rating, there's a way bigger problem afoot than hidden ratings. I would hope that those hidden ratings are so insignificant toward on-field performance that it doesn't matter whether you can see them or not. Besides that, any type of historical assigning of that type of "make-up" stuff is going to be 99.9% based on speculation anyway, and is probably just as likely to be correct if edited by players as it is randomly assigned by the AI. I guess it will matter if you want to make Tony Gwynn have a high loyalty rating so he won't switch teams or whatever, but a dealbreaker? Nah.

I do agree, though, that every rating in the game should be visible and editable in principle. With the ability to toggle off the ratings you don't want to see. But since the ratings that are hidden are so insanely unimportant, I can't help but think this is much ado about nothing.
