1998 Yankees, for me it's all about suspension of disbelief. With ratings on I can see all the little things that bug me and I can't get over them and enjoy the ride. I find the game way too easy with ratings on without choking the hell of myself with house rules. In an ideal world, I'd much prefer to have ratings on and be challenged but it just isn't happening.
Personally I'd love to see a whole new mode of the game offered in the future where instead of ratings we get something like "tools". IRL most of the scouting reports I've got to see talk more about a players physical abilities or characteristics and what the scouts belief those tools will translate into numbers. You can kind of get that in the game using potentials only but it's not quite the same.
By the way, on the waiver wire issue I still have to use house rules to keep from cherry picking all the high end talent. I only allow myself to claim players who have major league experience and are out of options. Then I only claim players who would go on my major league roster right now.
