I ran some experiments on this on OOTP6 when tinkering with my own database.

I don't have the results handy, but from memory, there was a definite cutoff, so that players with <x number of years would import with poor talent ratings regardless of stats, while if you had >x years talent would be in line with stats.

Because I was trying to have all players import based on peak, I gave each player 4 identical seasons of their peak production and nothing more (except for a cup-of-coffee age 18 season that ensured they would import as 18 year olds with bad ability but realistic talent).

I also recall that once you hit the magic number of years , it didn't matter how many years you used. So, Cap Anson with his peak year repeated 4 times imported as the exact same player as Cap with his peak repeated 20 times. But both were better than the version of Cap with just one peak year in the database.

All of this may be out of date due to the new way OOTP6.5 imports players.
