Semi-Stats only is my preferred way to play OOTP. (I leave "other ratings" on set to a 20-80 scale). Here are a few things I personally like about it:

It really makes me pay closer attention to everything in my organization. Ratings in my opinion make the game harder for me. I say this because I ignore the numbers at times because the ratings say for player ____ tell me he is supposed to be good. It also hampers my transactions. I'm less willing to move pieces because of the ratings. So the fog of war actually helps me because I'm not locked in on a rating, I'm simply using the numbers to make decisions. I'm looking at those stats in low A ball to determine if that player needs to move up a level or if he is simply on a hot streak as opposed to saying well his contact is at 50 time to move him up to AAA even though he is hitting a .135 in AA.
