I'm not sure...

Thanks

EDIT re above
Read through again "how I learned to love" thread
what I get from that is consensus is
a- turn off actual ratings
b- some suggest keeping potential ratings on, but at very low scale 1-5, or 2-8
c- most seem to suggest keeping other ratings (field run) on as those are abilites one can see w naked eye, and that seems logical

I may try w the low potential ratings for the first league, to see how that goes, see if it still gives me the feel of too much of an advantage in knowing players
Everyone does it differently. Some say all ratings should be off, others keep just the speed and fielding ratings on (which admittedly makes the most intuitive sense), and others like myself use some form of OVR/POT as well. Some people play with Normal scouting accuracy, others say it has to be set to Very Low. Totally up to the player. The essence of stats-only is getting rid of the ability ratings and making your evaluations based on stats alone.
