I'd like to see how many people feel playing with out overall ratings (stars or 20-80) feel much more authentic and realistic?

Now having asked this question, I have to say I feel the answer is "yes"...which leads me to another question...what AI evaluation is appropriate for this style of play? Just as the stats only crowd has it's own AI evaluation settings, I believe turning overall ratings "off:" also presents a new situation.

With this the overall ratings off, I feel this inherently makes stats a bit more important, but in a more realistic way than states only. The component ratings still tell you what type of player you have (eg. power hitter, OBP guy, power pitcher etc..) but without the overall rating, you don't get a peak into what the AI thinks of a player overall. (this goes back to the no longer existing option to view overall ratings based only on ratings and not the overall AI evaluation)

So my question is this: With the overall ratings off, what AI evaluation do you think might be the most realistic? In this instance, I no longer feel 65/20/10/5 is appropriate, and think you could go one of three ways.

they are:

55/25/15/5

50/30/15/5

40/30/20/10

which do people think are the most realistic AI settings with the overall ratings off?

Some may still feel the default, but if you are using 20-80 component ratings , it just feels as though stats become that more important, as the ratings are condensed and it's much tougher to decide between talent without the overall ratings.
