That would be stupid. The two sets of data are not mutually exclusive. You can have both, and still have the same decision to make. Actually, it's a harder decision with the ratings on.

No one has yet produced a compelling argument to support stats only being more challenging or harder than playing with ratings on. It is simply different. Perhaps it is more fun for some - that's a matter of personal taste. But harder? Nope.
Knowing me his low potential ratings combined with poor AVG I probably would havre relased him in A ball.When I used ratings I was very predjudiced by them. Based solely on number he deserved promotion but I would have been distracted by the red and yellow bars. Turning them off has made ME a better player.

You know Orcin you're like an atheist in church in this thread. No one is trying to convince you of anything.
