Love this idea. For the longest time I've wanted to come up with a way to make this a necessity by trying to avoid focusing on overall ratings. I've even considered trying to make a sheet of paper to hang from the television that covers the ratings in the depth chart and roster screen haha. (It seems like this year with all the alternative screens, big decisions, game planning, etc. it will be impossible not to see the overall ratings.)

One thing I have considered, and maybe somebody could comment on the effectiveness of this, is altering your coach schemes for each position to be as much the opposite of your actual scheme as possible to distort the overall ratings so you can't trust them. Then once you make all your roster decisions you could move it back...or not.

Does anyone know if having mismatched schemes throughout the season (blocking tight end scheme when you want deep threats/receivers) affect development or gameplay or playcalling at all? Or is it just a modifier of the calculations that make up an overall rating?
