I did some extensive testing today, and I absolutely agree with your statement. It was very hard to find any significant differences from moving the settings by 5% one way or another.

The rest of your post got me thinking about trying a current MLB league with the three magic boxes (player ratings relative to selected league, ratings based on AI eval not pure, and ratings based on all players not positions) checked (instead of the default unchecked) to see just how much different it is. The AI should act more quickly to improve its team in theory and this may lead to a better (although less true to life) experience. I will still use the default weights (65/20/10/5) to start.
