And when you do a feeder league and draft only with stats, only you are looking at the stats...the AI is looking at the ratings......so your draft is basically random (college players are not quite random), while the AI is picking based on the ratings......

This is true and may play out that way in a single player game but when used in an online league everyone is playing with the same "fog of war" and the "illusion" of realism adds a lot to the entire league.
