I believe without is set you can see everyone's attributes without having to scout them. Having Fog of War enabled makes it 'more realistic' as you won't know what players abilities are unless you do scout them.

The manual that comes with the game explains it pretty well:
‘Fog of War’ refers to attribute masking. The concept in short is that even as a General Manager, your knowledge of the entire hockey world isn’t encyclopedic, and as such, there are players you will know little about. ‘Fog of War’ masks the attributes of players the game believes you will know little about, and as such, you must scout these players to reveal their abilities. If disabled, all staff will be visible from Day One.

Too bad you couldn't hide the players attributes altogether for an even tougher challenge. You're drafting players etc based on scouts, instinct, numbers, etc. No attributes to help make your decision.

I believe B.Stinson made a tool that blacked out all attributes. Ask him
