What matter for the AI are only the evaluation settings that can be changed even without checking the box.
It is actually quite easy to test. For example start a MLB game as GM of the Toronto Blue Jays, leave the box unchecked and ask your manager to set the pitching depth chart. After that, change the AI eval setting, without checking the box, and ask again your manager to set the pitching chart. According the the values you set you will see different depth charts while the OVR rating you see will remain the same.

I am not trying to offend you, I just feel you are incorrect. I have tested that previously, just as you say. Not to say that just putting the evaluation settings in won't work, it does. The depth charts do change. I will not dispute that.
My contention is that the AI does indeed look at the DISPLAYED overall rating during its calculations. I could be wrong, but again, I've been testing this a long time and am only going off what I have personally experienced and discussed with others.
Anyone willing to run a test? Setup a game with all of the same settings, both having evals set 10/60/20/10. Click the check box on one, don't click it on the other. Sim 5 seasons and compare them. See which one gives the better AI behavior. I would imagine jazzrack would let us put some testing quickstarts up on the wiki for research and testing purposes.
