League DEfault Settings?

BlindGuyNW · 01-06-2022, 08:19 PM

Hi All,

As a totally blind player who uses OCR to explore game screens, one of the frustrating aspects of gameplay is my inability to determine the state of checkboxes. To a sighted user it's obvious whether they are checked or not, but the OCR just picks up on the label for the option and doesn't usually identify the state. Sometimes it's obvious from context, but not often.

A great example of this problem is the league settings. When I start a new standard game, are league evolution settings on or off by default? I would imagine they may be on, but am not 100% sure.

I'd appreciate confirmation either way. I wish there were proper screen reader support so this wouldn't even be an issue.

Automatic League Evolution is on by default.

Recommend turning it off, but absolutely your choice. I'm not a fan of some of the unexpected changes that can occur.

Thank you.

I have yet to play long enough to encounter it either way, but appreciate the confirmation.

obviously you can specify which changes you want, and those you don't. I don't use it, but as Bluenoser said, "your choice". If you did use it, I'd only use more or less pitching/offense. This does happen IRL, but I prefer to adjust the modifiers manually or by year if I want to change something here.
