I'm looking for a setting where you'll have consistent year-to-year performers from the marquee names, with occasional variability (ie. off-years by some, total drop offs and occasional surprises).
I've lowered mine down to 34 now because I feel like you just can't rely on anybody year-to-year. Off years are happening too often and too predictably for some of the best players. As I've said, I do want off years to happen to some players on occasion, but I just feel the frequency in which it's happening is too prevalent.
I believe the game is random enough even without all the random talent changes. Don't believe me? Try setting this to 1 and see if you see any off years? I'm willing to bet that you'll still see a lot of variability, so the game doesn't get boring and too predictable.

Yes, there is a lot of variability just due to the randomness used to generate results. If we got a perfect distribution only 68% of batters who hit .300 in real life would be between .282 and .318 in OOTP. The rest would vary by an even greater margin. As you can see there can be a big difference and still have statistically plausible results.
