This is for Madden but really I would like it in every sports game. There is an option to hide player ratings poll to vote on if you would like this in the game.

Reasons for an option to hide player ratings:

You will no longer be able to depend on ratings to tell you how good a player is or will be.
Before you drafted a Qb in the first round and he was in the 60's with C potential he never saw the field and you probably cut him straight away.
Real life example...
