Based on what has been posted by the devs it's all random except for a player in a slump gets a little push to stay in a slump, but not enough that you'd notice. I still ponder the meaning of the last phrase. Same thing applies to a hot streak.

Now if it's truly random, and I believe that except as stated it is, then there is a difference between the range in OOTP random and real life baseball random. Because we don't see hitters bouncing between .300 and .160 in real life.

There's a thread about what to do with hitters in a slump. People have explained the various things they do. But if they believe the game is truly random they wouldn't do anything. They'd just continue playing the guy.

Why do people use different players, different lineups, different strategy, development, talent change randomness, and the development lab, but judge the game on whether it produces historical statistics?
