Your story is the same with ratings on. The only difference is that you would make a choice to ignore mediocre or bad ratings and draft/play the player over the objections of your minor league manager and scout. You would do it for the same reasons, i.e. because you like something about the stats or the player's attributes. I do it a lot. I play with ratings on, but I don't ignore stats. That would be stupid. The two sets of data are not mutually exclusive. You can have both, and still have the same decision to make. Actually, it's a harder decision with the ratings on.
No one has yet produced a compelling argument to support stats only being more challenging or harder than playing with ratings on. It is simply different. Perhaps it is more fun for some - that's a matter of personal taste. But harder? Nope.
