This is one of those things that everyone has a slightly different opinion on. Ask 10 of us and you'll get 10 different answers!
I wasn't advocating one specific setting so much as I was simply advocating not blocking the ai out from seeing ratings entirely.
I'll usually recommend staying with the defaults since working fairly closely with Markus over the years, I've seen how much effort Markus puts into testing them, and running test leagues to get the defaults looking realistic, matching up with rl data.
But some folks feel that other settings work better and feel more realistic
for them, and I wouldn't criticize that.
A lot of it depends on just what your vision for the game is, and even what your personal opinion is on how heavily recent data should be valued over older data (the weight you put on current, 1 year, 2 year old stats etc).
In the end, I'd suggest listening to everyone's opinion on this and seeing what reasoning most closely matches your own feelings.
Then try those settings but be willing to tweak them and even try different settings from time to time to see how they work. Then you'll come up with the answer that's best for
you.
