It is indeed random. There is no hidden code - nor does there appear to be anything left over from previous coaching decisions. I think the issue is now that the cyclic pattern could, in fact, go for years at a time. This is also realistic.

The problem is that everyone is treating this as if t's the only way to be succesful in OOTP - to be on an equal level as everyone else in terms of talent boosts.

As pointed out in the test I ran over 8 years - the number of talent boosts had very little to do with which teams won thier divisions - so why are we claiming a parity issue... if that was true, teams with the increased talent boosts would be winning all the time.

The point is that talent is only one, single variable. There is so much more to this game that plays into the results, that mastery of one specific variable isn't really going to get you to the top.
