Recent research supports the existence of "hot streaks" in a number of sports.It is possible that hot streaks are built in OOTP. Of course, a player being identified as hot or cold might often just be the result of random chance...and this is likely the most common reason for reported hot or cold streaks...but it is also possible that in some cases this is a result of some underlying factor built into OOTP that gives a temporary positive or negative boost to a player.
It is reasonable to treat reports of a player being hot or cold seriously (and make decisions based on that) but it is also reasonable to ignore such reports as being (largely? entirely?) due to simple random chance. Until the developers reveal whether they have built hot/cold streaks into the game, we can't know exactly how to interpret reports of hot/cold players.
