you'll essentially learn 100/200 work ethic (and others), based on how it describes turning them on and off in the manual.
so, all the things you see normally happening with it turned off will continue to happen when you turn it on, except it will now be influenced by the work ethic rating. it's not likely going to be a huge difference..
same with enabling morale or the full coaching system resulting effects... if you get worried when you get those emails.. try turning morale off and see how your results are any different... likely not noticeable with the human eye - that doesn't mean you should ignore it, but merely put it in proper perspective.
use a restored league you can throw away. learning how scouting inaccuracy works is a good idea too. you can learn this as you play, but it will take alot more time and you'll be fooled by other effects masking what you are trying to learn. in a controlled environment you can learn it in a season or two and limit what fools you while learning that one factor.

I take it you've performed these experiments? Is there any quantitative information you can share with us to describe the effects (or relative lack thereof) of personality traits, coaching, etc? I'd be very interested in whatever you can share.
