I've seen this suggestion a couple of times and don't understand it. The common-sense reading of the checkbox is that it is about the cosmetic appearance of the OVR/POT star ratings that you see. The AI always goes by the "AI evaluation settings." That's what they are, by definition.

See the description in the manual:

Quote:
By default, OOTP overall ratings are based purely on the player's pure ratings, and are not affected by the AI's evaluation of the player. You can change this to Based on AI evaluation if you want overall ratings to be based on the AI's evaluation instead.
As well as Markus' comment here when the feature was first introduced:

Quote:
the next build will have an option called "Overall rating based on AI evaluation, not pure ratings" in the global options of the game setup. If enabled, then the overall stars use the AI evaluation settings (stats + ratings) instead of pure ratings. This may result in overall stars being higher than potential stars, since potential stars are always based on just pure potential ratings.
