Hi
I have v12 and am reading the online v11 guide; but anyway I have little grasp on at least two game settings.

They are:

I Game Setup - AI Options - AI Player Evaluation Options
followed by the four lines:
Ratings weight
Current Years stats weight
Previous Years stats weight
2 years ago stats weight

My exact questions here about this setting are:
A. Where does "Ratings Weight" here mean? What ratings is it talking about and where do they come from? How are they calculated?

B. What does "Current Years stats" actually mean, in relation to
bb. Fictional leagues
I mean in Fictional Leagues, what does "Current Years Stats" mean? Does this weighting change as the year progresses?
bbb. Historical leagues
And in Historical Leagues, what does "Current Years Stats" mean? The actual stats of the actual MLB historical season, say 1955? Or the game play stats being accumulated by each player in the 1955 replay? And again, would this weighting change for a historical league?

II. I Game Setup - Global Setup - Overall ratings based on AI evaluation, not pure ratings

C. Again, what the heck does this mean? Is it referring to the same AI Evaluation as the setting above (I) that I mentioned? If not, how do these two settings (I and II) interract?

D. Also- again what does it mean "pure ratings" and where do these "pure ratings" come from? And are they the same as the "ratings" in setting I above?
