As an update to this issue, it looks like ratings editing is possible at least in offline franchise but I would assume also online franchise. The attached image shows options for setting up a dynasty. One of the options is "Player edit permission" which is set on Commissioner only but presumably "everyone has permission" is also an option. If you look in the top right at the clarification text, it says "This setting controls whether or not a league member can edit player ratings on their team. Regardless of this setting, only the commissioner can edit ratings on other teams."
This is great news for everyone, but especially solo players. The only bummer is if you are playing with a trusted group of friends you can't open up ratings editing for all teams for them as well. It should be noted that this was in an offline dynasty, so it is unknown to me yet if this option is the same in online dynasty. Would be kind of a bummer if it's only in offline dynasty, and if Teambuilder teams end up being available only for online dynasty, but we'll have to wait and see. It should also be noted that the explanatory text for a similar option in Madden (second attached image) is different not a copy and paste and is referring to X Factor abilities which this game doesn't have, so it at least seems that player rating editing is available in some capacity.
So it would seem that either the videos we saw were indeed an early build that just didn't have the feature yet and it was planned all along, or they heard our complaints and added it. Next on the docket is news on numbering...
This is great news!!! I am so happy thanks for the info.
I will order the game soon......
