Jeebs,

My brother. I do not even think the overall ratings need to be hidden. There is no use for them to be honest.

For instance. If we are playing in Franchise Mode and the off-season has come upon us and the CPU controlled teams are looking for free agents to fill their rosters. Instead of looking at the highest rated player at the positions in which the have a glaring whole at, I think it would make more sense for them to select the best type of player at that position.

If the Warriors happen to need a PG during the off season and the highest rated PGs in the free agency pool at not athletic or up-and-down type point guards that fit the traditional GSW style, then what purpose did overalls rating really serve?

Now if overall rating was not there, that CPU controlled GSW team would look at specific attributes to fit their team. Shooting, Speed, Athleticism, not just an overall rating.

I think overall rating is an over-simplification that has no place in basketball games. In real life we don't see an overall rating. We see how well a player shoots, passes, dribbles, defends, and rebounds.

If a player shoots, defends, and passes well. But he is a decent dribbler, and poor rebounder, why should there be a collective assessment of his skills? All of those skills are independent of one another. So only individual attributes should be present.

I hope I made my point crystal. I am sorry for speaking so much.
