RELATIVE RATINGS: Bullshit or Just Deal With It?

League-related polls only (use OT Forum for OT polls).

Do you like these "Relative Ratings" that were foisted upon the league last year?

Please note that results are sorted by decreasing number of votes received.

I really don't care about ratings, I just go by performance.

No, I hate them. There was no reason to change the ratings structure in the first place.

RELATIVE RATINGS: Bullshit or Just Deal With It?

I hate them, and I hate the way that they were implemented. I doubt they will change, but hey, its a poll and I want the two points.

My vote was more for the 2nd part of the option. I mean, I guess it's fine. It's an adjustment. And ratings aren't end all be all. But it is super annoying.

Regarding my post about the scouting stuff, there's no guarantee that it will be fixed if we go back to the old ratings. It's a glitch. The default OOTP setting is to use relative ratings and this isn't happening in default MLB leagues.

Options are a bit harsh. I’d vote for: I don’t see why we changed them, and I’m having trouble getting used to them, but whatever. I’ll adapt.

Voted to help gather points. :)

At the end of the day, I'm fine with whatever. I'd love OOTP to implement a visually workable stats-only approach, actually. The one decent stats-only league I was in was a blast. Semi-difficult if you're not into ambiguity, but a blast if you're okay with it.

Yeah this is pretty much my stance as well

I would 100% vote for a stats only league. With potential being shown as the only rating displayed.

Starting a 100% stats only league is my OOTP dream. I've accepted that I'm too lazy to run it, though.

The options in the poll aren't any harsher than the harshness of randomly changing the rating system in the middle of an ongoing season not too far in advance of the trade deadline.

I have never understood the single person decisions in this league (or that other league I was in for a short period) but like Recte and co. so I came back knowing (I guess).
