I will say it's not the ratings you see displayed that drive the game. Those are subject to scouting error (accuracy) and less precise measurement systems.

It's still the underlying (input) ratings that drive the game (and in some instances, like historical or when you recalculate new ratings, statistics that create those ratings).
But the ratings change DURING the season too, so the statistics must have an effect during the season.
Recalculate does it after the season to. Although it is not clear if say 3 year recalc does it 3 year lookback or ahead... It appears to be look ahead.

If you take a player and change his POWER to 250 in the editor he will hit more homeruns.

Also note the aging and dev modifier effect the ratings too

I still like to think that everything effects every outcome
weather
stadium
pitch type
fielding range
fatigue
(actual decision if playing out the game)
each rating of batter, pitcher and fielders
(ie ball hit between ss and 3b, each fielders range, fatigue are considered)
manager decisions on fielding postitions
player and global strategy
morale etc
