I just know I ran test after test and it uses real stats very well too. That’s how I did my test runs personally.

Did you use park factors or neutralized park factors in your test?
In the past some outliers (Maris, Ruth, etc.) were toned down but with the new rating system they aren't being toned down?
IMO
If you want player to try to duplicate their IRL stats regardless what team they are playing on in OOTP, use real stats/neutral park factors.
If you want to see how Maris would do in a different park, Neutralized stats with park factors.
if you want to see how a player would be without park factors influencing his real life stats OR OOTP stats, then neutralized stats and neutralized park factors.
And finally you can let them play on their real team and use neutralized stats with real park factors and the results should be close to IRL stats.
I never use real stats with park factors but that is just me.
Yes the manual should be updated.
