It was my understanding that the values were restricted by a baseline based on the league year that the simulation was based on (this seems generally accepted around here). There are literally options in OOTP single player to modify this stuff (so its not a secret). And some folks claim that the PT world was based on 2010 or 2011 statistic baselines (so even though OOTP single player is different, the same principle applies to PT apparently).
Therefore its not pure randomness, its randomness within a predetermined range and which is also modified by the output of other players (so that predetermined range is perhaps dynamic across the 162 games to keep the values "stable"?). How can something be truly random if its output is corrected by something else (the baseline annual league totals)?
Thats kind of all im saying. That its not truly random because the game make corrections (and thats fine). Statistics and player output are modified by the game ("the game demands it"), but i havent and am not suggesting that it targets specific players - just that as long as some players "overperform", it will happen that the game will demand specific players will "underperform" to achieve the desired annual league totals.
