I agree with you to a point. I would love to ratings hidden especially for rookies but preseason is what you put into it. For me I use it for position battles regardless of rating. If My 69 HB outperforms my 87 HB, the 69 is my starter and the 87 is either on the bench or the trade market. I usually have some good position battles at WR, CB, DL and RB. Ratings don't come into play for me when cutting/keeping guys. Instead I try to think like a real life NFL GM would. I pretend the ratings are not there and I base cuts on the following: performance on the field, depth at that position, age, contract (soon to expire/money owed) and potential.
