I cannot wrap my head around digital cards becoming hot and cold. Their ratings are their ratings and they should perform to their ratings given enough time. Any messing with that is just lucky if it works out. I honestly think that putting worse cards in because a better card is slumping just hurts your team in the long run. This is not like real baseball where there are nagging injuries, decline, and a loss of mechanics all of which leads to worse performance.

If anyone has any theories about there being a hidden hot/cold streak that alters future performance, I'm all ears. But just saying it's true isn't enough for me to believe it. I think the hot/cold tags are for recent past performance and has nothing to do with current and future. But maybe I'm wrong.

This is different than misjudging how a player might do against stiffer competition. I'm only talking about cards that you know should be better than they are doing.
