That said I have no real problem using ratings a bit as well, and have gone as high as 10% with them. I justify it because players are not totally scouted by statistics in reality. There are plenty of visual things scouts notice as well, such as how well a player physically swings the bat. Larger, more muscular guys are more likely to have more power. Stuff like that. Since we can't "watch" our players I consider ratings to be more of an evaluation on those terms. Still hardly ever have the AI eval on them though.
The truth is, I think the AI uses ratings to some degree no matter what...is this true? If so, does it make things qual between the human and AI? I am OK with the ratings evaluation being at zero...but I will not turn off my scouted ratings.
