The 'I don't like to see George Brett traded for Dickie Noles' sentiment is my #1 reason. People, including me, tend to get frustrated when things happen that would never happen in real life. In fictional leagues, you aren't constrained by what 'should' happen. You can explain anything with a fictional story.
I never played fictional until a joined a fictional online league. It was probably my favorite OOTP experience ever. I really enjoyed making up stories to go along with what happened. Give it a try. I really think the game is set up best to play fictionally and kinda retrofit to play modern rosters and historical.
