It's a balancing act between too little and too much information. I don't like the overall ratings using numbers because they are too finely calculated. The overall ratings aren't just every 5 between 20-80, they are every single number. At least they used to be, has that been corrected?
I didn't like seeing a guy who was 62 potential versus another guy who was 63. In an online league with no scouting there still needs to be some mystery or unknown when it comes to players.
