First time post here.

I have agonized over whether or not to checkmark the option "Overall rating based on AI evaluation, not pure ratings", for quite some time. What I believe now is that for those that use a 0 (zero) in the first line of the AI Player Evaluation Options, (first line a Ratings Weight of the value 0 while the other 3 lines are statistical) ie 0/55/30/15 must have the option unchecked.

I used the following experiment to test this. As an MLB GM I took my starting pitchers from my active 25 roster and put them on waivers/designated for assignment. I filled those spots now with AAA starters with overall ratings of something like 22, 23, 24, etc. (I use the 20-80 scale) Although the pitchers aren't that good I did welcome the relative figures shown in the ratings.

When I 'checked' the option for Overall Rating Based On AI Evaluation, Not Pure Rating, the overall ratings for all those pitchers were now all at 20. This just seems so wrong.

So I guess my question is why would anyone who wishes to play stats-only throw a variable of 0 into a mathematical formula to determine player's rating by check marking that one option?
