So really, the best you can do without giving anything a way and allowing the text to match the rating scale is 20-80.

I use the 2-8 scale for simplicity sake.
I'm not trying to crap on the 'stats only' style of play, either, I'm still a relative novice at this game; I'm just wondering whether or not people are playing this way because the AI isn't challenging enough with the ratings turned on and, if this is the case, are there settings within the game that would make it enough of a challenge that a person wouldn't have to turn off the ratings (this includes NOT having to make house rules) unless, of course, they just wanted to play that way for the added challenge or any other reason.
