I think we should get rid of it. I think we should draft and build our teams based on they key attributes you value for each position. I already do and ignore the overall rating, but I think most owners rely to heavily on the overall rating and not actually what they are looking for in their players.
I don't understand this request. Overall rating is entirely based on your Player Weights. So you and I see different Overall values for the same player, unless we happen to have the same Weights. If you don't use them, fine. But why would you need to get rid of them?
Big negative 1 from me. Since you use your personal weights to adjust how a player is rated overall, I find the overall absolutely necessary for making a first judgment on a player.
