I think one of the things you (and others) are running into is the basic concept of OOTP.
Back in version 4, in an attempt to explain why OOTP was different than other games in historical leagues, I posted an experiment.
In created a 1961 league from the Lahman database twice and compared Mickey Mantle in both leagues.
The test showed that players are not imported the same way twice. Although they are close, they are different each time. I suspect this is still true (although I haven't repeated the test since).
This is what gives you the variability that OOTP is known for - yet creates a "moving target" when trying to recreate the accuracy of a historical season (which, by the way, OOTP was never roiginally designed to do).
It would be interesting for someone to repeat this test to see if it's still that way.
One thing Markus could do (if he chose to) is to have an option where no variance was applied if you "checked a box". Just thinking out loud....
