One big potential issue with playing deadball era games using neutralized stats is that the AI will still build lineups based on modern thinking, i.e. putting your best power guy at the cleanup position. If you use non-neutralized stats (or the equivalent for fictional league, which is to use the PCMs), the AI correctly sees that a guy with 22 Power isn't really that much better than a guy with 19 Power and will use other criteria to play them or put them in lineups, but if you neutralize them you could wind up with some .220 hitter batting cleanup for you because they have the raw power to hit 9 homeruns in a season.
