If the box isn't checked that means you're using the OOTP development engine. Recalc will keep your players very close to what they were in real life. The development engine will allow for more leeway in how a player's career plays out.

You probably want to check the players menu as well. Look on left side of screen. First thing you will see is the settings for injuries. Scroll down and you will see the options for whether the game is using the development engine or if development is disabled. Based on what you've described, I would suggest using development. You can use a combo of recalc and development or go 100 percent development engine. Playing with 100% recalc and no development will not give you much opportunity for a surpize in terms of Ruth.
Here's what I'm using in my world. Are these good settings for a fairly reasonable alternate history that will still allow for some unexpected variations?
