Correct US if WE're wrong...

Obviously there's quite a few opinions on how this works, and everyone is convinced that they're the one who is right... So maybe one of the devlopers can help clear up how this works...

As far as I can tell... what ever range you choose to display your ratings is simply representatitive of a players true ratings, basically making your given information more or less percise (based on your preference)

If for instance, two players HR Power true ratings are:
Player A: 51
Player B: 73

Then, IF you choose ratings 1-10, they won't both be rated "10" (it's not a cut off point, it's just setting the level of percission)
so:
Player A: 3
Player B: 5
That tells you that player B has mnarginally more power than player A, but not EXACTLY how much as the "true 1-200 ratings" that some are asking for.

That said, I don't disagree that if players want to see the true ratings, then they should have that option. But the differance between 199 rating and 198 rating is so small most likely that the point precision gained from using 1-200 instead of 1-100 would be pretty minimal in practice. (And would be beyond what you could percieve in real life)

I'll save my deeper thoughts on the issue, after I've player a bit longer with v6 and for another thread.
