If you have the development engine enabled along with recalc, it does kick in.
A drawback for doing a recreation with it enabled is that accumulated injuries will take a performance toll on players. The best example I have seen of this is with an injury plagued Babe Ruth when using recalc and player development. Ruth had a lengthy career with rate numbers more like Gorman Thomas than the Sultan. I do not think this will happen when player dev is not enabled, but I am not completely sure.
Using recalc and player dev I have had Bobby Murcer rival Honus Wagner as greatest career SS ever, even though there was no RL SS data for Murcer once he returned from the Service.
ADD: Goldschmidt gets a very favorable end point to his RL data and the development engine takes it from there.
