But you're not going to convince me it's "just as realistic" or that "it's the same as a scouting report" because that's not true, ok? A scout can give a rating of 20-80, sure, and they totally do. But that scout is not a computer with access to the person's absolute value. Sure, you can "fog of war" it by taking the accuracy down, but at the end of the day, even at low, the computer is basing that rating by knowing what's under the hood.
There is no part of reality where that is going to be true, so using ratings, even fogged is not "just as realistic" as when a scout gives a person a rating in real life.
If you have a rating in there, you can say all day "I won't use it" or "I'll only use it some of the time" but at the end of the day, it's a crutch, and we're only human. You'll be in a tight spot and that rating is gonna be there waiting to be the tie-breaker.
The game lets us all do as we wish. It does not, however, change reality or human nature.
Again, if you enjoy it, great! Go for it, but really, getting in this thread and trying to claim ratings play and stats only play is the same thing? Not true, never will be true.
I don't get why ratings folks are all up in stats folks' grills? Are you that unsure in how you play the game? I don't see stats-only folks jumping into threads about ratings saying "Why are you using ratings?" the way we get "Why aren't you using ratings?" or "Why are you suggesting people turn ratings off?"

Actually, I was just looking to get some of my questions answered so I hope this defensive rant wasn't directed towards me.
Keep in mind, it's just a game, nothing to get this worked up about.
I'm still just looking for someone to answer my questions.
