I think people put way too much stock into OVR.

And that's my point I guess, as this seems to be the main issue folks have with the overall rating. I understand that, but ultimately, there is no concrete advantage to removing it, especially when the reason is one of visual/subjective annoyance. Whether under the hood or visible, it or some iteration of it is necessary. It drives so many systems in the game that it would probably break the game to remove it completely.

Maybe they can implement an option to visually turn it off, but either way they seem to be moving in the right direction with trying to make it more specific and meaningful.
