Here's how I feel about it.
Custom leagues should always have the meter off, otherwise its not much different than a public league with small variations in the amount of stages for preseason and FA, custom teams are irrelevant.
The problem with having the score even visible is a lot of players are still going to use it, allowing savvy (predators) traders to use the above mentioned scenario with the RB to their advantage. Identifying certain positions and players who's score doesn't reflect at all the implied value within the game. Like he said the RB even with a lot of low attributes is still very useful(good) in MFN and worth much more than the score would reflect, which then allows people to take advantage like trading a 10th year OL valued at 350 for the above mentioned RB plus picks in compensation. On the surface it looks on the level, but it isn't and a lot of players who don't know football at all, like the recent German guy who is playing, will be taken advantage of.(I think it's in paydirt)
I know you can't make it invisible, but really it needs to go completely.
Edit: Personally I would like to see a restriction on the amount of trade "offers" that can be made by a team. Right now in a lot of leagues there are players(nonames) who just send out mass offers hoping someone will accept.. they don't even bother to look at your roster to see if it would make sense. If you were restricted to making say, 10 offers total, you would have to put a lot more time and conversation into trading. You might have to save a few offers for the regular season to counter injuries and such, ya know strategy etc.. which is better for MFN.
